Sony, the gaming giant, is reportedly terminating its previous integration with social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). Now PlayStation users enjoy a great benefit due to this feature, which enables them to share their gameplay or gaming content directly from PS device to X. However, now it looks like this service will not be available to PlayStation users anymore.

Although available only to PS4 and PS5 users, this integration feature was widely popular among players. It was also because X (former Twitter) is one of the most-used social media platforms for Esports. Now with this feature getting eliminated, PS users have to burn some extra calories to get their jobs done. Want to know more about the process?
