How to unadd PlayStation account from old Microsoft account

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to unlink our old Microsoft account from your PlayStation.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please be guided with the following steps on how to unlink the account:

Launch the game on your PlayStation.

Navigate to the main menu and select "Settings".

Go to the "Account" tab.

Choose the "Unlink Microsoft account" option.

Kindly read the warning message about losing access to certain features (e.g., realms, cross-play, in-game purchases) and confirm that you want to proceed by checking the appropriate boxes and pressing "Unlink".

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hey there, Jake Hyatt

Unfortunetally, with how everything was set up between PlayStation and Microsoft, only one account can be linked to a PlayStation account. This means that when you unlink an account from your PlayStation account, it won't allow you to link another Microsoft account to the PSN account.

You will need to create a new PSN account on your PlayStation and game share your content to other accounts on your PlayStation. Then link your new PSN account to your new Microsoft account.

For instructions on how to gameshare on PlayStation, please see this article here: How to enable PS5 Console Sharing and Offline Play

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

bought sea of thieves and accidentally linked my deleted Microsoft account to my PlayStation one. I know longer can play the game anymore because I can’t connect it to my new Microsoft account. I was wondering if yall could delete my old Microsoft account from my PlayStation account.

Microsoft cant do that since the linking is starts from Sony's end.

per https://support.seaofthieves.com/articles/18270908747282-PlayStation-Microsoft-Account-Linking

• Be warned, account linking is a permanent decision, as players are only able to link a single Microsoft account to a single PlayStation™Network account. Only use the Microsoft account on which you intend to carry over your progress to launch!
  

So basically you can never link a different Microsoft account to your Playstation account. It will be forever tied to the deleted Microsoft account.

Keep in mind this is a restriction imposed by Sony. Not Microsoft.

I need to unlink my PlayStation Network account from my old Microsoft account which I don’t remember, & link it to a new Microsoft account to play Minecraft

You can unlink the psn account however you CANT link a different one.

Note: 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.
