Minecraft account/PSN id

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Minecraft

Sorry to say but unlink a PSN account from a Microsoft account is not possible or link a different Microsoft account is not also possible.

Is stated in the link below:

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/36...

"WARNING Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation:registered: account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation:tm: Network account can be associated with a different account. 

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation:registered: accounts can only be re-linked to the original account."

In this case you may need to use a different PSN account and link it to a new Microsoft account :c

Creating a Microsoft account with the old/previous email doesn't work

Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. I'm Aileen, and I'm here to provide you with advice as an independent advisor.

I know it’s frustrating losing access, especially when your Minecraft account is tied to your PlayStation Network. Unfortunately, having only your MCID (Minecraft ID) and DID (Device ID) isn’t enough by itself to recover the account, but here’s what you can still try:

1. Use the Microsoft Account Recovery Form

If you can remember any possible email tied to the account, go here:

https://account.live.com/acsr

Fill it out with any details you remember:

Old passwords

Approximate dates of use

Xbox gamertag if one was linked

You can mention the MCID in the notes section for context

2. Search your PlayStation email for clues

Check your inbox (for the email used on PSN) for messages from:

Microsoft

Mojang

Minecraft

Xbox/Microsoft account linking

You may find the original Microsoft account name linked to Minecraft on PSN.

3. Important note about PlayStation linking

Once a Microsoft account is linked to a PSN ID for Minecraft, it can’t be unlinked or replaced. The only way to use Minecraft again on that PSN ID is to recover the original Microsoft account.

That’s directly from the official Minecraft help article:

Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation account can be associated with a different account.

If you find the email, try recovering it through Microsoft's recovery tools. If not, all access will depend on whether you can re-verify ownership through the form.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

Yes, PSN is not "free" on the PS4 you will be charged $50 / year PER account you wish to have a PSN ID.

Hi,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Xbox forum.

Based on your description, it seems you cannot sign in your Microsoft account to your PlayStation5 on Minecraft. When you see this error message, it means that the Microsoft account is already connected to another account on the PlayStation™ Network. Take note that you can only tie one Microsoft account to a PlayStation™ Network account. Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation™ Network account, it cannot be unlinked without loss of access to entitlements and Minecoins  on other platforms. 

The solution is to link the PSN™ ID to a different Microsoft account since the Microsoft Account you’re attempting to use is already connected to a different PSN™ ID (to your old PlayStation). Each Microsoft account may only be linked to a single PSN™ ID and vice versa.

You can view full details of the regulations on this link: Minecraft for PlayStation® FAQ – Home

To get your PlayStation ID, kindly consult the PlayStation support as we don't have any direct about the information here in our end.

Sincerely,

Hi Pedri G! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

I'm sorry you're in this situation.

The solution is to link your PSN ID to another Microsoft account, because the
The Microsoft account you are trying to use is already linked to another PSN ID.
Each Microsoft account can only be linked to one PSN ID and vice versa.

Note: If a Microsoft account is linked to a PlayStation account, neither the
Microsoft account nor the PlayStation Network account can be linked to other
accounts.

Best regards,
Daniel.
