    Summary:

    • Nintendo has discontinued support for X (formerly Twitter) integration on the Nintendo Switch console.
    • The reason for pulling support is likely due to pricing changes to the X API, which now starts at $42,000 a month for enterprise customers.
    • Microsoft and Sony also removed X integration from their consoles (Xbox and PS5/PS4) last year, but didn’t specify the reason.
    • Slack, a communication platform, also pulled support for X integration due to the API updates impacting its functionality.
    • Console gamers will no longer be able to connect directly with X, despite the X Gaming account claiming that its “partnership with Nintendo remains strong” in a now-deleted post.
