As reported first by Wario64 on X/Twitter, PlayStation is going to discontinue the integration between their console and the social media platform X/Twitter on November 13, 2025. This means millions of users who used the hashtag #PS5Share via the native PlayStation operating system to share their captured photos and videos will soon lose the ability to do so.
The message from Playstation reads:
“As of November 13, 2023, integration with X (formerly known as Twitter) will no longer function on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles. This includes the ability to view any content published on X on PS5/PS4, and the ability to post and view content, trophies, and other gameplay related activities on X directly from PS5/PS4 (or link an X account to do so). For details on how to share game captures from PS5, click the button below.“
Worth noting is that Microsoft disengaged from X/Twitter back in April, shortly after Musk announced he would start charging companies for access to the platform’s API, a crucial tool needed to enable the collaboration of two programs.
Online users began sharing methods to distribute media captured on PlayStation using the share button, a pivotal feature since the PlayStation 4 era. This includes the ability to download the media you capture through the official PlayStation App on mobile, enabling you to not only share it on X/Twitter but also on other text and attachment-based apps like email, iMessage, and Instagram. These platforms don’t initially have native API integration with PlayStation.
