JAKARTA - Microsoft removed the ability for Xbox players to upload game clips directly to Twitter. The news comes from the latest Xbox Insider update quoted from Gamesradar, Monday, March 20.

A beta type program that allows testing Xbox and identifying and removing bugs or errors in games with new features before they are released to the masses.

As seen by Windows Central, players will now have to send their clips to their phones or smart devices if they have a cool clip they want to share with their Twitter followers.

While initially thought to be an error, an update to the Xbox Insider build now confirms that the social media icon only appears in the "mobile sharing" option. It emphasizes that mobile devices are needed.

The move has not been publicly acknowledged, so no one is really sure why the feature was removed. However, Windows Central argues that Microsoft may be backing off on the well-used justification that it has low usage.

It may take longer for the game to add Steam Deck support. In a recent statement, Microsoft said that "it's up to our studio to decide if, and when, the title will be integrated with Valve's new handheld system," citing Gamesradar.

"Here at XGS, we love games and think people should be able to play our games as freely and easily as possible, anytime, anywhere, sharing amazing experiences with friends or immersing themselves in solo adventures," Microsoft said at the time. However, there is no further information on this matter.
