Cannot link Steam and Xbox accounts

Helcyon2991 · Mar 9, 2022

Hi,

I am having an issue where I cannot link my Steam and Xbox accounts.

I have tried to link my Steam account in the Xbox app settings on Windows 10 but I keep getting the message: "Try again soon. We can't link right now." I also tried to link the accounts after launching a Microsoft game on Steam and using the Windows Game Bar, but I also get an error message saying that something went wrong.

I have an older Xbox account that I had my Steam account tied to before, but I unlinked them. Now I can't link that Steam account to my new Xbox account.

Please help. Thank you.

:)

If you have tried all workarounds in linking your Xbox account to your Steam account and nothing seems to work, you may need to reach out to the support website for the social network you’re trying to link.

Hey Harun!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

Microsoft Xbox has no tools to manage any 3rd party account on their end that is linked to a Microsoft account.

It seems the only best option is to contact Steam for further assistance as they can manage your Steam account and possibly link it to your new Xbox account.

You can contact Steam support here at this link:

Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

Hello Patrick K, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I understand that you want to unlink your Steam account from your Xbox account so you can set it up on your stepson's Steam account.

To unlink your Steam account from your Xbox account, you can follow these steps:

Sign in to your Xbox account on your console or on the official Xbox website.
Navigate to the settings or account settings section.
Look for the "Linking accounts" or "Linked accounts" option.
Within that section, you should see the option to "Unlink Steam Account" or something similar. Select that option and confirm the unlink.

Once you've unlinked your Steam account from your Xbox account, your stepson can link their own Steam account to your Xbox account by following these steps:

Sign in to your Xbox account using your console or the official Xbox website.
Navigate to the settings or account settings section.
Look for the "Linking accounts" or "Linked accounts" option.
Within that section, there should be an option to "Link Steam Account" or something similar. Select that option and follow the instructions to link your stepson's Steam account.

Best regards.
