Can't log into Minecraft on switch

thatonekidwind · Jun 29, 2025 at 1:42 AM

It logged me out of my Microsoft account on my switch, and when I tried to log back in I kept getting the drowned error message, and now when I'm in a stronger wifi connection it's still giving me the error code. This is really frustrating I can't even play with my friend anymore because of this, how do I fix this?

Write in English. I play Minecraft on Nintendo switch. I log in with my Microsoft ID and play. I was playing with realms, but now I can't log in. It stops at the screen that is forming the terrain. Is there a solution?

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

I'm sorry you're having trouble logging into your account. Here are some steps you could take to resolve the issue:

On a different device, open your web browser and navigate to the URL shown in Minecraft: Enter the code shown in Minecraft and click Next}

Start Minecraft on your device: Click the 'Play' button. Click the 'Find Cross-Platform Friends' button. Click on the ‘Sign in for free’ button. On the Minecraft game home screen, select 'Sign in with a Microsoft account'. This will provide you with a screen that will provide you with a unique 8-digit code.

Check your Xbox settings: Make sure you have the latest system update and enable auto-upload by navigating to Settings > Preferences > Capture & Share, in the Auto-Uploads section.

Best regards.

I saw recently other users reporting something similar in the forums.
Could be an issue with Minecraft servers, just to confirm. Are you able to sign in with your Microsoft properly here:

Or here?
