How do I "Authenticate to Microsoft Servers"

Joe King9872 · Mar 25, 2025

It keeps telling me to do this so I can access my Minecraft realm, but never explains how. It doesn't say this when using my Xbox, but on PC, it happens each time. I've seen the last thread and it doesn't help in the slightest.

Hi, my name is , I'm a member of the Xbox community like you. I understand your problem, don't worry I'm here to help you.

Go to the Date & Time settings, change it to a different date, and then sync or revert back to the correct one.

Open the game and see if the issue persists.

You would have to contact their support for help with their service

Xbox Live is only used for authentication

Activision runs every aspect of their game servers, including whether crossplay is allowed

So you'll have to ask them why you can't disable crossplay

Microsoft has no ability, and is in fact legally prohibited from having anything to do with their business until if and when the merger is complete. They do not dictate how third parties run their servers.

Please advise how I can get some help to check my account authentication in the MSFS in-game server?
