  1. Unlinking Microsoft account from Minecraft on PlayStation (PS4 or PS5)


    I recently purchased Minecraft for PlayStation and I immediately have encountered an issue: I am unable to sign in to the Minecraft PlayStation Edition. It will give me this error:
    "Oops! Looks like the Microsoft Account you are trying to use is already connected to another account on "PlayStation Network".
    Please sign in with a Microsoft Account that is not already linked to an account on "PlayStation Network".
    I do not remember ever linking a Microsoft account to PlayStation on Minecraft. If proof or evidence is needed, please let me know and I'll provide the necessary screenshots or information that will be needed to unlink my Microsoft account to whatever PlayStation account is linked to.

    Much regards and many thanks!

    :)

    how to sign out of my microsoft account on another ps5 for minecraft and you dont have Access to the PlayStation account with the Microsoft server account on it

    Hello, Andy! My name is Mario and I welcome you to the Microsoft Xbox Community!

    I can understand your concern and please don't worry I am here to help you.

    Microsoft offers you a tool to recover an account by filling out the form below:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    In the following link are the steps to unlink your Minecraft account to your PS5:

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us...ount-from-your-Microsoft-Account-in-Minecraft

    This only works to unlink your Minecraft from your PS5 account. Unfortunately you cannot unlink a Microsoft account from a PS5 account.

    If you would like to receive personalized help regarding the recovery of your PS5 account, I recommend that you contact the PlayStation team directly. You can do it here:

    https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/?country-selector=true

    I remind you that the link above is not an official Microsoft site, the information seems to be reliable but I ask you to be cautious with some ads.

    Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. I am an Xbox gamer like you and I am happy to help you with my knowledge. Unfortunately, I am unable to access your internal account information.

    Unlink Microsoft account from Minecraft.

    Hello,

    Please check out this page: Minecraft for PlayStation® FAQ – Home

    It states:

    Linking a Microsoft account to a Playstation® account

    WARNING Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be associated with a different account. 

    If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.

    What happens when I unlink my Microsoft account?

    IMPORTANT Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation™ Network account, it cannot be unlinked without loss of access to entitlements and Minecoins on other platforms. 

    According to this thread you can unlink the accounts: Minecraft PS4: Unlinking Microsoft Account - Microsoft Community

    However, even if you unlink it, according to Mojang you can only Re-link it to the original account, you cannot link a different PlayStation account to the Microsoft account.

    Thank you,

    Can i get the email that is connected to my minecraft account

    I don’t know what email I used to link to my PS5 for Minecraft account. Could somebody unlink the account connected to my minecraft account if not can you tell me what email is linked to my minecraft account. Would I have to go to PlayStation to get it unlinked or do I go to Microsoft since it’s the accounts that are needed.
    Even if you could unlink the account you wouldnt be able to link a different one.

    Per https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037725571-Minecraft-for-PlayStation-FAQ

    Note: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be associated with a different account.

    If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.

    This is a Sony imposed restriction, not Microsoft/Xbox.

    There’s a random account linked to my minecraft account on ps5 but I can’t sign out of it can you remove it from my account

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want to remove the Minecraft account that is linked to your PS5 account.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please open Minecraft on your PS5 and go to the "Settings" menu.

    And then navigate to the "Accounts" section and look for the option to unlink the Microsoft account. Kindly conform the action for the unlinking request.

    For your reference, please open this link: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/29...

    If the unlinking option isn't available, you may need to delete the saved data for Minecraft. To do this, go to your PS5's "Settings" menu.

    Select "Storage" > "Saved Data" > "Console Storage."

    Locate Minecraft and delete the saved data files (this won't affect your world designs).

    And then relaunch the game and follow the setup instructions to link a new Microsoft account.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
