How to fix error message when linking Xbox account to epic games account?

Hi Ian! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Epic Games account.

Just a gentle reminder that we are only Xbox gamers like you here in the community. We are not Microsoft employees and we do not have tools to access any Microsoft System.

Based on the error message you provided according to the official Epic Games website: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-U...dy-linked-to-an-epic-games-account-a000084956

"There are two reasons that your console account might say it's already linked:

Your console account is already linked to an Epic Games account.
Your console account is linked to a nameless account.

Your console account is already linked to an Epic Games account.
Here are steps to determine what Epic Games account your console account is linked to:

Click here to log in. https://www.epicgames.com/id/login
Click the icon for the console type you're trying to connect.
Log in using your console account credentials.

These steps will take you to your Epic Games account where you can verify your account details.

Please note that the email address on your console account might not be the same one as the email address on your Epic Games account.

Example: Your console account could use the email *****************, but the email you used to create your Epic Games account might be *****************

Your console account is linked to a nameless account
A nameless account is when your console account is linked to an Epic Games account without an email, password, display name, and first or last name.

This means that when you first played on your console, you selected not to register an Epic Games account, and an Epic Games account was automatically created for you using your console log-in credentials. This allows you to play and save your game progress and purchases for the next time you play on your console.

We recommend you upgrade to a full Epic Games account to resolve this error message. https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-U...count-to-a-full-epic-games-account-a000084621

Note: We strongly recommend you do not unlink your console account from the nameless Epic Games account created automatically. If you do unlink the nameless account, you will lose access to your game data when you play from that console. "

How do I unlink my xbox account from Epic Games so I can link my epic games account to my xbox correctly? Error message is "Sorry your xbl account has already been associated with another Epic Games account"

I have gone to the Epic Games website, logged in using the Xbox link, used my xbl credentials, and it logs me in. However, under Accounts/Connections Xbox is not connected. When I click on connect, I get the message that this xbl account is associated
to another account. It's a never ending circle.

Hello אוריאן ק, I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide some assistance with your inquiry today.

This message appears when your Microsoft account is already associated with an Epic Games account. In order to fix this, it is required to log in the Epic account you used to previously link your Microsoft account and follow the steps in the article I’m going to share below:

אוריאן ק, it is important to clarify that it is not possible to unlink an Epic Games account from your Microsoft account, the process always needs to be done in the Epic linked accounts management.
