    The linking accounts issue has become a problematic situation for me and was wondering if anyone else successfully navigated a similar situation.

    Originally i purchased Minecraft bedrock for PS4, it prompted me to enter a Microsoft account which i entered the only MS Account i have (the one that i use for my Windows surface PC), and make all my
    digital PC purchases through.

    After some time, my sons and I wanted to play Minecraft on the PC while someone else could game on ther PS4. So it seemed like i needed to purchase another version of the game.. which i did. I naturally used
    my windows account that i sign in with, to purchase another copy from the MS store.

    Recent releases of the game allow cross-platform play, so we wanted to share worlds within that system and play with other friends online. I decided to purchase a realms subscription. However, when we tried
    to log into the realms sever on the PC and ps4, the systems prevented these log-ins and said that the same Microsoft account could not access realms at the same time from 2 different places. Since I had purchased 2 versions of the game for each device I and
    the realms subscription, i am unclear how this is an issue.

    I next decided however inconvenient it may be i would register a new MS account and try to link that to my PS4, and free up my MS account with the game purchase (the one associated with my PC) to access the
    game only via the PC. After creating a new MS account i attempted to login to my PS4 with that account. I was prompted that my PS4 account was already associated with another MS account and it could not be unlinked or associated with another account.

    I found a couple of troubleshooting methods in some forums. I decided to try and see if i could determine if it was possible to unlink the accounts. So far i attempted to "unlink" my Microsoft account from
    my ps4 by selecting the unlink account button in the Minecraft menu (in game). After that, i exited the game and deleted all the saved game files. That was unsuccessful as it still stated the PS4 account was associated with my prior account. Now I have
    a PC and PS4 version of Minecraft, that are both unable to play online, on these devices.

    I am unconcerned with losing any of the app data on either of the devices, but I cannot abandon either of these accounts because they are still in use for even greater amounts of content. I also dont feel
    i should have to purchase another version of this game. It seems to make zero sense that there is a way to brick your games because you signed into the wrong system with them.

    Has anyone had any experience with this issue and found any possible resolutions?

    :)

    Gamefly and the X1 question....

    do they have ps4 games on gamefly?

    -

    it would be prudent of them to wait as both consoles are allowing third party publishers to link games to an account, which would render rentals useless.

    Minecraft on PS4 is not Attaching to Microsoft Account

    Hello, In order to fix this, you'll need to find the Microsoft account that you used the first time on Minecraft for PS4, it does not matter if you create a new Microsoft account because is the PS4 account the one that's linked to a specific Microsoft
    account. If you don't remember which Microsoft account you used, you can go to Mojang support for them to check what's the Microsoft account that's linked to your PS4 account for Minecraft.

    Logging in on ps4

    Ps4 received the Bedrock version of Minecraft, meaning it is crossplay enabled now. However you need to have a Microsoft account to be able to play with your friends on other platforms.

    There is some issues with the linking/signing in of accounts on PS4.

    Microsoft Account linked to PS4 account on Minecraft

    I have linked my Microsoft account to my PS4 account in order to play cross platform minecraft. The issue is that I would like to play cross platform with my brother, who is playing using my Xbox One. My microsoft account is now associated with
    both my PS4 account and Xbox Live account, which means that we share a gamertag. For this reason I cannot add my Xbox account as a friend on Minecraft and cannot play cross platform. I attempted to resolve this issue by unlinking my Microsoft account from
    my PS4 account but this did not resolve the issue. I was unable to link a different Microsoft account to my PS4 account, a message informed me that my account was already linked to another and could not be linked again.
    Please can you make it free Minecraft Minecraft store PS4

    Not a Microsoft employee

    I understand you want to link a different Microsoft account in Minecraft for PS4
    I was checking and unfortunately is not possible to link a new account once you link one

    Here's the article that say it
    https://help.minecraft.net/content/minecraft-ne...

    "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"
