Another microsoft account previously connected to playstation account

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

If you are receiving an error message saying that your Microsoft account is already connected to another account for PlayStation Network, it is likely that your Microsoft account has been previously linked to another PlayStation Network account. In order to find out which account this is, you will need to try to log in to your PlayStation Network account using your Microsoft account credentials. If you are able to log in to your PlayStation Network account using your Microsoft account, then you will be able to see which account it is connected to.

Alternatively, you can try contacting PlayStation customer support for assistance in finding out which account your Microsoft account is connected to. They should be able to provide you with more information and help you resolve any issues you may be having.

Dear nathan,

‘ Oops looks like the microsoft account you are turning to use is already connected to another account for playstation network please sign in with a microsoft account that is not already linked to another account for playstation network. aka.ms/mcpsnhelp

You can't connect another Microsoft account to your PS Account if that same PS account was connected to another before.

I took this from the Minecraft site:

"WARNING: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation 4™ 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 4™ accounts can only be re-linked to the original account."

Unfortunately, Sony does not allow you to change the connected accounts. Once a Microsoft account and a Playstation account have been linked, that's it. You can unlink them but you can never link that Playstation account to another Microsoft account and that Microsoft account cannot be linked to a different Playstation account. This is all Sony's decision. The linking is handled on their end so there is nothing that Microsoft can do about it.

In this case, your Playstation account is already linked to another Microsoft account. You would need to find out what Microsoft account it is and sign in with it. Once you link a Microsoft account to a Playstation account, neither the Microsoft nor the Playstation account can be linked to another Microsoft/PSN account.
