We had anticipated it as a rumor this morning, on the occasion of the announcement of the new PS4 update 7.00, but now it is official: Sony has announced the removal of Facebook integration from PS4, which means that we will no longer be able to share trophies, pictures, clips and find our friends on Mark Zuckerberg's social network.

Also, if you had set up on your PSN profile to use your Facebook profile photo as an avatar to show to other players, this feature will also no longer work as of today, and Sony suggests selecting a different avatar in the console settings.

The reasons for this "divorce" are not yet known, but it is possible that there may be increasing restrictions on the use of its data that Facebook is setting up against third-party applications, in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. However, you still have the option to share your content on Twitter, or of course directly with your PSN friends.
