Nintendo has recently made the decision to discontinue support for X (formerly Twitter) on its popular Switch console. This move follows similar actions taken by PlayStation and Xbox, making it the final major gaming hardware to cut ties with X integrations.<\/p>\n
Through the latest 18.1.0 software update, Nintendo users can no longer link their X account to their Switch. This update, released on June 10th, brought minor stability improvements along with the removal of X integrations.<\/p>\n
Key changes included in the update are:
\n\u2013 Inability to \u201cPost to Twitter\u201d when sharing from the \u2018Album\u2019 option on Nintendo Switch.
\n\u2013 Disabling of posting Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshots from the Album in the \u2018Home\u2019 menu to Smash World in the Nintendo Switch Online smart device app.
\n\u2013 Removal of the ability to link X from user settings.<\/p>\n
Nintendo\u2019s decision to end support for X was announced last month without a clear explanation. However, speculation suggests that it may be related to changes in X\u2019s API access. In 2023, X introduced tiered subscriptions for API access, with larger-scale options like the \u2018Enterprise tier\u2019 costing at least $42,000 USD per month.<\/p>\n
Both PlayStation and Xbox have also discontinued their integrations with X in 2023, although they did not explicitly cite API updates as the reason behind their decisions.<\/p>\n
The end of support for X on Nintendo Switch marks a significant shift in gaming platforms\u2019 relationships with social media integrations. Stay tuned for more updates and news on telecommunications trends!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
