In a rather shocking move, Microsoft has decided to do away with a feature that it has had for a long-time. Insider reports suggest Xbox users will no longer be able to find the direct share button option with Twitter in the latest update.

This removal will indeed come as a shock for the player base, as it has always been present in every iteration of the console, but it is now being recalled.

The tech giant has not offered any explanation about this strange decision, and why it is opting to part ways with the feature all of a sudden. It is being speculated that the feature came with an alleged API cost, which seemed an unnecessary expense for the studio to incur.

Previously, Microsoft has pulled a similar move and stated that the feature wasn’t being used as much as a reason to pull it away.

 Xbox will no longer offer support for users to share on Twitter

According to a report from window central, the latest update will block users from directly sharing things to Twitter from their Xbox consoles. Alternatively, gamers will have to send the clips to their mobile phones and then post them on Twitter, if they wish to continue sharing content.

These unnecessary steps surely make things a bit chaotic and add an unwanted burden on the fans. If low usage turns out to be the real reason behind this move, then it will hit a small portion of avid users a bit hard, as their favorite platform is being ripped away. The icon has been taken down from Xbox’s dashboard and every other platform.
