Nintendo Switch Drops Twitter Integration in Latest Update
The move follows similar decisions by Xbox and PlayStation due to high API fees imposed by X, formerly Twitter.
Overview
- Nintendo Switch's 18.1.0 update removes the ability to post screenshots directly to Twitter.
- Users can no longer link their X accounts to the console or share content from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- This change aligns Nintendo with Xbox and PlayStation, which removed Twitter features last year.
- The decision is influenced by X's new API pricing, which starts at $42,000 per month for enterprise access.
- Gamers must now transfer screenshots to other devices to share them on social media.
