Good afternoon, I have a question, why can't you unlink a minecraft account and put another...

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

As it says on the Minecraft website

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/36...

"You can only tie one Microsoft account to a PlayStation:tm: Network account.   ....

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I UNLINK MY MICROSOFT ACCOUNT?

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

You can unlink it through the settings

I hope that answers your question!

I have another question for example my main game was fifa and I had a pretty good team you can not unlink my ea account from that account and link it with another account

This is the problem we understand it won't let you save progress. Your not listening to us. When we linked the account with our child's account. Now playing on the same exact account it won't let us create another Xbox live nametag because on the other
ps4 it already has one. Also when we try to create a different account on the ps4 so we can have separate gamertags it will not let us create a different account because it keeps saying it's linked to another account. We have tried to unlink all of the accounts
to fix this issue and it unlinked them just fine. But now we're stuck in a predicament because on all of the ps4 accounts we have unlinked, we're not able to play Minecraft at all on none of the accounts, I do not understand why Minecraft has to have Xbox
live, Microsoft and mojang just to play the game. Somebody needs to fix this issue because we'veput our money into this game and not only we've lost it all but now we can't even sign into the accounts to play because it won't let us!!!!!

good afternoon

Microsoft account is optional and not required to play Minecraft on PS4:tm:. It's a free account that you can use to log into a device. It allows Minecraft players on PS4:tm: to play with others on non-PS4:tm: devices such as iOS, Android, Xbox One, Switch and Windows 10.

A Microsoft account also allows portability of your purchases from Marketplace (non-PS4 devices) or Minecraft Store (PS4) to other devices and platforms. To create a new Microsoft account, go to:

account.microsoft.com

Note Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation:tm: Network account, it cannot be unlinked without losing access to rights and Minecoins on other platforms.

Please note that the account must have an Xbox Social Profile.

if the problem persists, Unlink the Microsoft Account from the game and relink as shown below:

Start Minecraft and go to Settings > Profile;

Select Unlink Microsoft Account;

Check the three checkboxes to confirm that the account cannot access the Store, use cross-play and continue;

Select Unlink;

When the "Unlink Successfully" box appears, go back and sign in with your Microsoft account again.

If you are still not successful:

Logout All Devices to which the account has been connected;

Completely turn off all devices;

Just use the console and try to log into Minecraft with your Microsoft Account.

Unfortunately, once you link a Microsoft account to a Minecraft account, I am afraid they cannot be unlinked!
