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.

      Not the person you asked, but honestly it’s the most useless button on the controller. I hit it by accident, and want the menu to go away quicker than it took to load in.

        I haven’t owned a PlayStation since the first one, there’s a dedicated Twitter button on the controller?

        I definitely see its use. Suppose you don’t consider yourself a content creator, but you’re playing GTAV and some absolutely hilarious one-in-a-million glitch happens where a ragdoll flips in JUST the right way. It’s good to have a fast button to be able to mark the recording for later. Could be that video would get to a million views, but only if you’re able to record it.

          I’ve saved a few clips for this reason and I’d rather just go to the PS5 quick menu and open up the share screen from there. I don’t know why that wasn’t the option to begin with, are people saving clips frequently enough to require its own button?

          Weird design choice.

        Counterpoint: I really enjoy taking photos in games that have photo modes, and it’s a great button for that.

        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.
