  1. Fix for "Cannot link Microsoft Account to Playstation Account in Minecraft"


    I just want to share this fix that I've found for not being able to login to PS4/PS5 Minecraft with a Microsoft Account.

    If you're having this issue, change your PlayStation account (PSN) email address to a temporary email address (I would advise against using disposable emails on the internet as they can be intercepted). Wait 15 minutes.

    Once 15 minutes have passed, change your PSN email address back to what it was before. Wait an additional 15 minutes, then attempt to log in.

    I know this sounds like nonsense, but I believe that Microsoft does not always register the synced PSN account correctly. Performing this PSN email change can correct that issue.

    As a reminder, once a PlayStation and Microsoft account are linked together, they cannot be changed to any other account, even if one of them is deleted.

    :)

    Fix for "Cannot link Microsoft Account to Playstation Account in Minecraft"

    Microsoft has nothing to do with this other than confirming your authentication. Sony is responsible for every aspect of this, and they do not let you link anything with the original account linked to any PSN account ever,

    I personally would not be playing these games, because I don't know what their enforcement team does when you expoit a bug like that to bypass one of their policies, So anyone trying this is taking a big risk.

    i cant log with any account that i own in my ps5, it says “oops this account is allready connected” “log with your previous logged account” help

    You cannot see on the Microsoft website if you linked your PSN account to it or not.

    Have you ever played Minecraft on your or a friend's Playstation?

    Or maybe have a friend ever played Minecraft on your Playstation?

    I ask because maybe your Microsoft account is not linked to any PSN account, but the PSN account on your PS5 is already linked to other Microsoft account - which makes it impossible for you to sign in and link your current Microsoft account to it.

    Unlink Microsoft account from Minecraft.

    Hello,

    Please check out this page: Minecraft for PlayStation® FAQ – Home

    It states:

    Linking a Microsoft account to a Playstation® account

    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 which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.

    What happens when I unlink my Microsoft account?

    IMPORTANT Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation™ Network account, it cannot be unlinked without loss of access to entitlements and Minecoins on other platforms. 

    According to this thread you can unlink the accounts: Minecraft PS4: Unlinking Microsoft Account - Microsoft Community

    However, even if you unlink it, according to Mojang you can only Re-link it to the original account, you cannot link a different PlayStation account to the Microsoft account.

    Thank you,

    Cannot link Microsoft Account to Playstation Account in Minecraft

    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 despite this crawford29c

    When you receive that message, it means you're using the incorrect Microsoft account, in that case as you don't remember exactly the used Microsoft account you need to start the recovery process filling the form below:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    Due to 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

    If you think it's an error you can try contacting Mojang support to see if they can assist you further on this one.

    From Microsoft side is not possible to do anything

    PlayStation Minecraft Cannot link to Microsoft Account

    Unfortunately, you cannot see which PSN account is using the Microsoft account!

    The only thing you can try is to check with PSN if there is any possibility to figure out what PSN account is using the Microsoft account,
