Microsoft Account Connecting issue to Nintendo Switch (Minecraft)

This is not the first time I've signed into my Microsoft account for minecraft or Nintendo switch. I have tried multiple wifi connections, and the only error code it gives me is error code 500 and says xbox live cannot complete this request. I am able to log into my Microsoft account on the regular Microsoft website, just doesn't work for the website to connect it to my minecraft for nintendo switch

Same issue here. If I log into Minecraft on my Nintendo switch under my Nintendo account, I can see the DLC. But it will not sync over to my Microsoft account to be able to play on different devices.

Has anyone had luck syncing purchases made with a Nintendo account to a Microsoft account in Minecraft marketplace?

Hi Abigail Corcio,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting your Microsoft account to Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch. I'll do my best to help you with this issue.



Firstly, I would like to clarify that Microsoft accounts can be used to sign into Minecraft on Nintendo Switch. However, there are some steps that need to be followed to ensure that the process is successful.

Here are the steps that you can follow to connect your Microsoft account to Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch:

1. Make sure that you have a Microsoft account. If you don't have one, you can create one for free on the Microsoft website.

2. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch and select "Sign In" from the main menu.

3. Select "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" and follow the on-screen instructions to sign in.

4. If you're prompted to download the "oauth" file, make sure that you download it and save it to your device.

5. Once the file is downloaded, go back to Minecraft and select "Choose File" to locate and select the "oauth" file.

6. After selecting the file, Minecraft should automatically sign you in to your Microsoft account.



If you're still experiencing issues after following these steps, there are a few things that you can try:

- Make sure that your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet and that you have a stable internet connection.

- Clear the cache and cookies on your web browser and try signing in again.

- Try signing into your Microsoft account on a different device to see if the issue is specific to your Nintendo Switch.

If none of these steps work, you can contact the Minecraft support team for further assistance. See: Contact Us | Minecraft Help



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Kind regards,
Marrion
