I need help. I'm trying to connect to my switch with my Microsoft account but when ever I...

Hello,

I've had an issue with Minecraft PS4 for a while where I cannot link my Microsoft account with my PlayStation Minecraft account.

When I try to link the two, the error I get is that my Microsoft account is linked to another PSN, when there shouldn't be.

I've tried reinstalling the game and I would like to connect my main Microsoft account as I've got purchases on there

(I'm not sure whether this is relevant but my Microsoft account is also linked to my Nintendo switch Minecraft too)

Any help and advice is much appreciated

Thank you

Had you by chance ever in the past logged into minecraft on a friends Playstation account using your own Microsoft account? Do that would have linked the two.

That being said if the Microsoft account is indeed linked with a different PSN account already then there is no way to fix that. Even if you got the two accounts unlinked it wouldnt let you relink a different account and would only ever let you link the account that is already currently tied to it.

As far as I know, the new gamertag, the , is attached to the same email. But when I looked at the Microsoft account, the original email that my original gamertag is also connected to my dad's email. I'm not really sure what went wrong where
or when, but I am trying to switch accounts.

For the sign in issues, I have recently updated my security. And I still cannot sign into my profile online because of the Microsoft account issue.

Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure the link above will help me with my problem. I'm looking to change the email that's associated with my xbox live account only, not my Microsoft account. I've done a bit of digging, and according to the following link
it looks like I can do it from our Xbox 360, but not Xbox one:

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

I'll try it tonight when I get home, I just hope the change takes effect on the Xbox One as well (I'm pretty sure it will)

If the system says it's in use, then it is somewhere on the servers and can't be used. Tags are also used on other Microsoft services. Or the person who is using the tag does not have a space which would still make it the same gamertag according to the system.

It's to stop people from impersonating others, even though some would be able to tell the difference there's a lot of people that would fall for it.
