    This is something that Nintendo should have had a better fix for years ago. With my PS5, I can access my screenshots and video clips from the app and save them directly to my device. I can’t believe that Nintendo hasn’t managed to do something as simple as this, they’re just so unwilling to make a modern product.

          And it is attached to a subscription service that rotates games on a whim.

              You’re right about the classic games like NES, SNES etc., but I know for one that they took down Super Mario Bros. 35 permanently which is a part of the NSO subscription.

      Yea, last time I tired, you have to connect to its personal wifi hotspot and download them via the app. It’s so backwards!

      Good news, they have had a better fix for several years now. About a month after the PS5 came out, so what you described was possibly an actual factor in it.

        “Better” is such a strong word. It’s a kludge where you have to connect your phone and switch to a virtual wifi and then you can send up to ten photos at a snail’s pace. I kept using twitter because it’s such an annoying process.

          Correct me if I’m wrong, but on PS5 you’ll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app. Or on Xbox, you’ll need to pay for OneDrive or it’ll be removed after 90 days. Both more annoying from my perspective.

            That’s the way on PS4. PS5 automatically sends all photo and video captures to the PS app on your phone. They disappear after 14 days, so if you don’t save them within two weeks, then you have to get them with chat posts like PS4.

              You can actually go on your PS5 and re-send those photos or videos if you need to. Just hit select when you’ve got the photo you want to re-send highlighted, and an option to send it to the PS App will appear.

            For PS5, the last ~2 weeks of screenshots are accessible directly from the app, as well as video captures under a certain size (I think generally a 3-5 minute max). The console automatically backs them up to your PS cloud account.
