Elon Musk famously is a huge video-game fan. But gaming companies apparently aren’t fans of what Musk is doing with X, the social network formerly called Twitter.Sony said it is removing support for Elon Musk’s X/Twitter from its PlayStation game consoles, effective next week. The company announced the change in a notice posted Monday on its website.“As of November 13, 2023, integration with X (formerly known as Twitter) will no longer function on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles,” the message on Sony’s website reads. “This includes the ability to view any content published on X on PS5/PS4, and the ability to post and view content, trophies and other gameplay-related activities on X directly from PS5/PS4 (or link an X account to do so).”Reps for Sony Interactive Entertainment didn’t respond to a request for comment about why PlayStation is cutting off X. But Musk’s move to charge companies for access to X’s application programming interface (API) appears to be the most likely reason.https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/playstation-ps5-cuts-off-twitter-x-access-1235782429/ (ICE LOS ANGELES)
