PlayStation and Other Gaming Titans Flock to Twitter Rival Threads | Push Square
pushsquare.comGaming titans like PlayStation are spreading their wings and flocking to Threads, the new Twitter rival launched by Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta. The new text-based social media platform is seeking to swoop in on Twitter’s turf, after a series of controversial changes by new owner Elon Musk have seen the popularity of the so-called bird app plummet.

Other noteworthy publishers that have taken the plunge include Ubisoft, Capcom, and SEGA. Meta overlord Mark Zuckerberg announced overnight that over 10 million people have joined the new platform, but whether they’ll stick around is the big question. If anything’s ever going to steal away Twitter’s market, however, it’ll be Threads.
