Hi Azriel,

My name is Aileen, and I’m an Xbox Expert and an Xbox user myself. I get how confusing and frustrating this can be, especially when Minecraft tells you your PSN is already linked, but you’re sure you’ve only used one account. You’re not alone in this. I’ve seen others run into the same problem, and I’ll help guide you through it.

Since this is a public forum, I don’t have access to accounts, but here’s how you can try to fix it:

What’s likely happening:

Once a PSN account is linked to a Microsoft account, it cannot be unlinked or relinked to another. Even if you accidentally created or signed in with a different Microsoft account before, that link becomes permanent on PlayStation.

Here’s what you can try:

Make sure you’re signing into the same Microsoft account you used the first time you linked it.

Try checking your other email addresses, including any you rarely use at https://account.microsoft.com, to see if Minecraft or Xbox is listed there under “Privacy & online safety” or “Your info.”

If you signed in with the wrong Microsoft account once, the PSN is now permanently linked to it, even if it was an accident.

You can confirm which Microsoft account is linked to your PSN by trying to sign in at:

https://aka.ms/remoteconnect

Use your console’s code when prompted — it will show you what Microsoft account is already linked.

Unfortunately, Mojang/Microsoft support cannot unlink PSN accounts. They have stated that once linked, it’s permanent due to data agreements.

Your options now are:

If you can recover that original Microsoft account, even if it’s unused, sign in with it to continue playing

If you can’t access it or it was a throwaway email, your only option would be to create a new PSN account and link it to your current Microsoft account

I know that’s not the solution anyone hopes for, but I hope at least now you know why it’s happening and what can be done.

I hope that this helps.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

Thank you!

Aileen

Hi, Leighton! Thank you for reaching out.

I understand you are trying to sign in to Minecraft. To clarify, have you already tried entering the code at [ https://www.microsoft.com/link ]? This is normally where account-linking and sign-in codes are entered.

Hello Alyssa Hughey,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community. Just a reminder, here on community we are not able to double check accounts and devices to check for the possible issue. What we can do here is provide/guide customers with possible troubleshooting steps for the issue. I will try to provide you some steps for you to be able to reset your log in. If the steps that I provided won't work, I might need to forward you to Minecraft support since they have a better view than us on this kind of issue.

To reset the sign-in on Minecraft, you can try the following steps:



1. Go to the Minecraft website and click on the "Sign In" button.

2. Click on the "Forgot Password" link.

3. Enter the email address associated with your Minecraft account and click on the "Send" button.

4. Check your email for a password reset link and follow the instructions provided.

5. Once you have reset your password, try signing in to Minecraft again.



Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns. I will be waiting for you and I would be more than glad to assist you further.
