  1. Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Nintendo switch Microsoft Account Sign in Failure


    I don't know why I need to post this question as this issue has been highlighted for
    several years on these pages. In the hopes of getting a straight answer that works from Microsoft support I will post it again.

    I have been trying to access my Microsoft account as required by the Bedrock edition of Minecraft on the Nintendo switch if I intend to play online or even backup my purchases from the microsoft store. I follow the onscreen instructions to access my account
    by going to https://aka.ms/remoteconnect site and entering the code. The site will tell me that the login has been successful but I immediately get a failed to login screen on my switch that states "We tried to sign you in to your Microsoft account, but something
    went wrong." To add insult to injury it resets my Minecraft character to the default every time and does not ever connect. I have been trying this for close to six months. My connection is fine to the internet, I have tried the various solutions that have
    been promoted on this board and others. I have tried accessing the remote connect on PCs, my phone, tablet etc. All roads lead back to the failed to login screen. I refuse to delete my save data as I would lose many months of work as well as the fact that
    many many similar posts have shown that draconian solution often does not work. I do not understand why there is not a solution or at least an acknowledgement that Nintendo and Microsoft systems cannot work together and no one that could actually address
    this is that interested in a robust solution.

    So please tell me I'm wrong and there is a solution that consistently works or that a patch is available to correct this. Otherwise I can only assume that the Switch version is intentionally left crippled to a significant number of users as there are hundreds
    of other people showing similar frustration with this problem over a period of several years.

    :)

    I am eligible to get bedrock edition for free because I bought Java edition in January 2022. How do I set up bedrock edition on my Nintendo switch for free?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good morning

    To set up Bedrock Edition on your Nintendo Switch for free after purchasing Java Edition in January 2022, you will need to follow these steps:

    Log in to your Mojang account on the official Minecraft website.

    Go to your account settings and look for the "Claim your free copy of Minecraft" option.

    Select the "Redeem" button next to the Nintendo Switch option.

    You will be prompted to enter your Nintendo Switch account details.

    Once you have entered your Nintendo Switch account details, the Bedrock Edition will be added to your account.

    Go to the Nintendo eShop on your Switch and search for "Minecraft."

    Download and install the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the steps I provided. I'm here to help you, so please don't worry. Here's a more detailed explanation of the steps you need to follow:

    Go to the official Minecraft website and log in to your Mojang account. If you haven't created a Mojang account yet, you can do so by clicking on the "Register" button on the login page.

    Scroll down to the "Minecraft for Nintendo Switch" section and click on the "Redeem" button next to it.

    You will be prompted to log in to your Nintendo account. Enter your Nintendo account details and click on "Sign in."

    Once you have signed in to your Nintendo account, you will be redirected back to the Mojang website. Click on the "Redeem" button again to confirm that you want to redeem your free copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition for Nintendo Switch.

    You will then receive a confirmation message saying that your free copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition has been added to your Nintendo account.

    Microsoft/Minecraft has made it extremely difficult and infuriating to play with friends.

    We are both using Nintendo switch but we are playing Minecraft. Not console edition. Bedrock edition if you will.

    Microsoft and Nintendo

    You can already earn Xbox achievements on a Nintendo switch.

    You need to log into an Xbox account on the bedrock edition of minecraft for Switch.

    Happy to see that they are taking further steps into this now.
