Nintendo is making significant changes to how its Switch console interacts with social media platforms. Beginning June 10, 2024, users will lose the ability to directly share screenshots and videos from their Switch to X (formerly known as Twitter). Check out the detailed information below:
Nintendo is ending Friend Suggestions feature
This change will also impact features within popular titles like Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, where posts designed for social sharing will now remain contained within the games themselves. The company is also ending the Friend Suggestions feature that allowed Switch users to connect with friends on external social networks.
Nintendo hasn’t given a specific reason for the changes. However, the move aligns with a wider trend of gaming companies scaling back direct social media integration.
Some features will persist for now. Users can still share Switch content to Facebook, but Nintendo warns this service may also be discontinued later. Additionally, while Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshots can no longer be posted to Smash World, they can be saved locally on the Switch.
Gamers will still have ways to share their Switch experiences. Screenshots and videos can be transferred to a smart device or PC, allowing for posting on preferred social platforms.
