Changing Microsoft account linked to Minecraft for PlayStation

You can link your Microsoft account to PlayStation for minecraft , but there is no way to link PlayStation and Xbox, I wouldn't hold my breath on that ever changing

You would need to follow Sony's instructions to link on their service

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Austin

Sorry to say but unlink a PSN account from a Microsoft account is not possible.

Is stated in the link below:
https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/36...

"WARNING Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation:registered: account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation:tm: 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:registered: accounts can only be re-linked to the original account."

In this case you may need to use a different PSN account and link it to a new Microsoft account :c

Creating a Microsoft account with the old/previous email doesn't work

Dear Gavin Milligan

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the Community.

For your description of your problem with linking Microsoft accounts on Sony's Playstation reporting an error, have you played minecraft on the Playstation before or linked another account, if so, you can follow your method below:

Even if you can unlink the account, Sony won't allow you to link other Microsoft accounts later: How to Link Microsoft and PlayStation Accounts.

How to Link Your Microsoft Account to Minecraft on PlayStation | Minecraft Help

Note: After you link a Microsoft account to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be linked to another account.



If you choose to unlink an account, the purchase transaction will be returned to the account from which the purchase was made. Even if unlinked, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-associated to the original account.



Again, this is a Sony restriction. It is not a restriction imposed by Microsoft/Minecraft.Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes

I am sorry to hear that.

Is your PlayStation account still linked to your Microsoft Account?

You can only link one PSN account to one Minecraft account, if you disconnect it, you won't be able to link another PSN account to it.

I took this from the Minecraft site:

"WARNING: 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 that made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation accounts can only be re-linked to the original account."

That is correct, Emil.

Microsoft owns Minecraft. Therefore, a Microsoft account is required to play the game.

If you want to play with friends on different platforms or join Realms on Minecraft for PlayStation, you will need to link a Microsoft account to your PlayStation Network (PSN) account. Here is how to do that.

How to connect your Microsoft account to PlayStation in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

Launch Minecraft on your PlayStation.

Select Sign in with a Microsoft account on the title screen.

Visit the code redemption site on a browser.

Input the code that your game is displaying.

Sign in to the Microsoft account you want associated with your PlayStation account.

Note: only one Microsoft account can be associated with any PlayStation account at any one time. If the account you are trying to sign into has already been linked, you will need to use a different one.
