The linkage with Facebook will remain for the time being, but may be discontinued at a later date according to Nintendo\u2019s announcement. Users will also no longer be able to send friend requests via the Friend Suggestions menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titles such as Splatoon 3 and Splatoon 2 will be directly affected by this change, as players are currently able to post messages from the in-game mailbox to their linked X or Facebook accounts. After X integration with the Switch is discontinued, mailbox posts will no longer be posted to either X or Facebook, but rather to Nintendo\u2019s servers. It will still be possible to save images from the Nintendo Switch Album to your PC or smartphone and then manually share them on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following X&#8217;s announcement of API pricings last year, many companies and platforms have made changes to their X integration features. Yostar have terminated X integration for several of their games, including Arknights. Sony Interactive Entertainment discontinued the X integration function on PS4\/PS5 in November 2023, making it no longer possible to share gameplay videos and screenshots directly to X.
