This hardly used Switch feature is getting dropped.
For those who used their Nintendo Switch to send out tweets and screenshots, that feature is going away soon, so you might want to invest in a phone instead. Nintendo added a new support page on Thursday announcing that it is discontinuing the Twitter , now X, integration for the Switch. Starting June 10, Switch users will no longer be able to post screenshots or videos to X from their device.
Switch users will not be able to send Friend Requests to social media either. Nintendo was the last of the big three console makers to drop Twitter support. Microsoft made the move for Xbox consoles in April 2023 and Sony did the same for the PlayStation lineup last October. A likely reason for their removing the integration is the increase in API access fees. Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony were big on social media when they released their consoles in the 2010s.
