I just bought minecraft on ps4 and never linked my Microsoft account to it yet its saying...

Hi Josef, I’m having the same issue however this is the first time I’ve got minecraft on any PlayStation, I’ve tried logging in to Minecraft on PS5 and it gives me the same message, there is only my account on my PS5 yet it says my Microsoft account is already linked to another PSN account, I do not have minecraft on PS4. I attempted to use a different Microsoft account but all I got was a signing in screen for 10 minutes so gave up.

(Edit: just installed minecraft on my ps4 with the same PSN account and also says the Microsoft account is linked to a different PSN account but Nintendo switch works fine so seems to be an issue with PlayStation minecraft)

I went through the linking process numerous times, but now it's saying a different account is linked... When I havent linked it until I bought Minecraft for my PS4. I also have no other Microsoft account that could possibly be linked.

Hi Josh,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you forgot the Microsoft email that you used in Minecraft. Here are the detailed instructions on how you could proceed with the recovery.

1. Look up your username using your security contact phone number or email address.

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2273127

2. Request a security code to be sent to the phone number or email you used.

3. Enter the code and select Next.

4. Microsoft will then show a hint of the username, in this format: j********@outlook.com

If the username lookup wasn't successful, try looking for your Microsoft account username within other products or services that you know are associated with that account. Please see this official support article for instructions:

I want to make sure that you will get all the assistance that you need. If the steps did not work on your situation and you still need further assistance, I recommend that you submit a ticket directly to Minecraft support so you can be guided by Minecraft specialists to verify the ownership of your account.

Maybe your Microsoft account has been linked to a different ps4 Minecraft account and never unlinked? You might just have to make a new Microsoft account to link it to.

Hi Anderson. I have never played minecraft on my playstation ever and have never linked an account so I am very confused on how a Microsoft account could already be linked if I only just bought the game.
