If I'm unable to link a different Microsoft account to my PSN, then how was I able to...

Account linking.happen on Sony's servers so only they can answer this for you. Same thing with any other publisher.

Hi Derek! My name is Darhlene and I’m here to assist you.

Based on what you mentioned, your Minecraft account must have migrated to your original Microsoft account where it was first created. You need to find the original Microsoft account where your Minecraft/PS account was linked.

To verify this:

Sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/

Select the 'Payment & billing' tab, then check your Order History.

Please do this step and check all of your Microsoft accounts. If you don't see any Minecraft transactions in the Order History, it means that the account is not associated with your Minecraft account.

Please provide me with an update when you finish.
Kind Regards,
Darhlene

Hi Knockstock. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. I understand how frustrating it must be that the wrong Microsoft account has been linked to your PSN.

It's important to make sure you're linking the right Microsoft and PSN account, as this link is permanent and can't be changed afterwards. Once the accounts are linked together, neither the PSN nor Microsoft account can be linked to a different Microsoft/PSN. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi there Javon, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

It appears that, according to the official Minecraft help website, it's not possible to unlink a Microsoft account from a PlayStation account to link a different account. Please note that this restriction is imposed by PlayStation, not Xbox or Microsoft, as PlayStation determines which accounts can be linked on their platform and how it's done.

Here's the information I found on the Minecraft Help Center website:

In this case, I recommend trying to contact PlayStation support to see if they can assist you or provide an alternative solution since, as mentioned earlier, this restriction is on their end.

You can contact PlayStation Support using the following link:
