Developers for both Genshin Impact and Arknights have warned players that using Twitter to log into their accounts may result in loss of access.
Elon Musk is disrupting the gaming world. The developers of two highly popular online games, Arknights and Genshin Impact, have alerted players that utilizing Twitter for login may be impacted by Twitter’s upcoming API changes.
“We are currently evaluating the impact of Twitter API changes on game account login and working on potential solutions,” stated a tweet from the official Twitter account of Genshin Impact. “To avoid any potential login issues, we suggest visiting the HoYoverse Account page and linking your email address for account access.”
Arknights tweeted a similar message, stating, “We URGE players to bind their game accounts with the Yostar account if they haven’t already, to prepare for any unexpected situations.”
The extent of the impact Musk’s proposed changes to Twitter’s API will have on services that utilize it for authentication and login is unclear. However, if you frequently use Twitter to log into accounts, not just for these two games but anything else, it’s wise to connect your accounts to a secure alternative like an email address to minimize any potential disruptions.
