Sony Interactive Entertainment sent a message via the PS5 and PS4's advisory systems mentioning that the consoles won't support X (formerly Twitter) integration anymore.

lol the PS4 and 5 had Twitter integration? Didn't even know that was a thing and I've been a Playstation user since the PS2 and currently rock a PS5.

Never tried hitting that share button in eight years?

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 year ago

nope, it's a waste of a button. I hate that button with a passion.

Nope, I'm pretty introverted and don't really have friends, lol

Doesn’t mean you can’t save some fun photos for later. They save to your console by default; you don’t have to share them at all.

Good riddance.

PS4 had Twitter integration?

Man, everyday i'm more glad i stopped at the PS3.

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's just for media sharing, like posting screenshots and video clips.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Even the switch had that.

My wife and I share a PS4 and neither of us knew it had Twitter integration.

[–] snownyte@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah because we've gotta share clips of what we play to several dozen fucking media places. I'm glad my better gaming days seemed to be resting at the PS2 era, didn't have all of this social media shit.

Man, Dirt 3 had YouTube integration and npcs telling you to 'upload that sick trick to youtube'. A wild time.

Burn baby burn

Am I the only idiot that read X as X11 then realized it was referring to Twitter?

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

No, the logo is basically identical

[–] yoz@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Who the fuck is using xitter on a ps5?

[–] Kachilde@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What are they going to replace it with? The X button is so iconic! … oh, gotta finish reading the headline before commenting.

How will scrubquotesX get content now?
