Nintendo is removing X/Twitter integration from Switch on June 10, 2024 as it echoes moves made by PlayStation and Xbox in 2023.
A post on Nintendo's support website outlined the change, which will predominantly stop users sharing screenshots and video clips to X/Twitter directly from their console. The decision to remove support comes after the social media platform began charging more for business use of its API, the interface used by third-party developers to access Twitter data.
Nintendo didn't give an explicit reason for the removal of support, but big companies like it, Sony, and Microsoft could be charged around $42,000 a month to uphold integration, according to Wired. It notably continued to support Facebook, however, which does not charge for using its API.
X/Twitter itself responded to the announcement, insisting it's dedicated to enhancing the gaming community's experience on the social media platform and that it still has a strong relationship with Nintendo.
"The gaming community is one of the largest and most vibrant communities on our platform, and we are dedicated to enhancing and supporting gaming-related features," X/Twitter said in its own post.
"Our partnership with Nintendo remains strong, and we are working together to ensure a smooth transition for all users. We will continue collaborating with partners to bring new and exciting experiences to our global gaming community."
X/Twitter's API changes arrived in March 2023 and Microsoft disabled Xbox integration in May. Sony removed X/Twitter integration from PlayStation in November of that year, though like Nintendo, neither company referenced the API changes as a reason for doing so.
