Linking my Microsoft account to Minecraft on PS5. Seemed to work but then it seemed to give...

Hello PS61, thanks for reaching out for support here on the Xbox forum. Sorry you're dealing with this confusion with your gamer tag.

When you link a Microsoft account to Minecraft on PS5, it should connect to your existing Xbox profile and show your usual gamertag. If it gave you a different or new gamertag, it likely means a new Microsoft account was created or used during the sign-in process by mistake.

Double-check which Microsoft account you signed in with on the PS5. For that, you will need to check with PlayStation support.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

you don't normally have 2 gamer tags it makes one for you if you don't have it

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)

Hello, Andy! My name is Mario and I welcome you to the Microsoft Xbox Community!

I can understand your concern and please don't worry I am here to help you.

Microsoft offers you a tool to recover an account by filling out the form below:

In the following link are the steps to unlink your Minecraft account to your PS5:

This only works to unlink your Minecraft from your PS5 account. Unfortunately you cannot unlink a Microsoft account from a PS5 account.

If you would like to receive personalized help regarding the recovery of your PS5 account, I recommend that you contact the PlayStation team directly. You can do it here:

I remind you that the link above is not an official Microsoft site, the information seems to be reliable but I ask you to be cautious with some ads.

Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. I am an Xbox gamer like you and I am happy to help you with my knowledge. Unfortunately, I am unable to access your internal account information.

Hi, Ac1d,

Thank you for your contribution, and welcome to Xbox Community. It's my pleasure to help.

I understand you want to link your Microsoft account to your PS5. Sorry to hear that you're facing issues with linking your account. Have you linked your Microsoft account to Playstation account before?

The error normally indicates that your PS5 is already linked with a different Microsoft account or your Microsoft account is linked with another PSN.

Are you linking your account for Minecraft game?

Thank you!
