Account unlink from playstation

S1ntroupe · May 29, 2023

At some point in the past my cousin made a Microsoft account and linked it to my playstation account for Minecraft on the PS4. I want to unlink this account, I can't myself due to the fact that no one knows what the account name is or it's password. Can you please unlink that Microsoft account so I can connect my own? It's my Minecraft for PS4 with an unknown to me linked account. I want to play with my friends on realms but I can't until this is resolved. Again I wish for the Microsoft account that is connected to my playstation account to be unlinked so I may use this current one, as I know the name and password here

Hi,

Try unlinking your Microsoft account from PlayStation (if possible because I don't use it). you can also unlink 3rd party apps/sites (such as PlayStation) from your Microsoft account from here:

Once linked, only that a microsoft account can be linked to a PSN ID, even if you disconnect,

account linking happens on Sony's servers, they'll have to change their policy

Did you already reach out to PS about this concern to see if they can have this unlinked from your PS account without having access? It would also be best to try and recover the account if that is really needed.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help on unlinking your Microsoft account to your PS4 account.

Just a heads up that you can only be able to do this on your PS4 account since this was also being linked on there in the first place.

You might also need to recover the account first before you can unlink it since that will require you to have access to it.

If you are unable to recover that, it would be best to reach out with PS and check with them how to unlink it without gaining access since this option is not available on Microsoft accounts.

I need to unlink my PlayStation Network account from my old Microsoft account which I don’t remember, & link it to a new Microsoft account to play Minecraft

You can unlink the psn account however you CANT link a different one.

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.
