Minecraft, “Connect to previously connected account”

YungBoiJJ7 · Aug 9, 2022

I have gotten help from Minecraft support they have directed to Microsoft where I went to support and the self help couldn’t assist me so I needed here the community. I had an Microsoft account that I connected to my Minecraft on ps4. I closed the account that was connected back in May and made a new one with the same email recently. So I tried to connect it to my Minecraft I couldn’t cause it’s needs to connect to the Microsoft account that doesn’t even exist anymore. And I’m here to see what I could do get my account back as that was what Minecraft support had told me to do. So I will be to get my data merged between the two accounts or anything like that even bringing back the other one. Or something I could do in Minecraft or Xbox to allow this new account to work?

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 despite this YungBoiJJ7

Sorry to hear that, sadly deleting the account doesn't break the connection between your PSN account and your deleted Microsoft account.

Re-using the same email address doesn't mean that you restore the account. If you did it after the 60 days that takes to completely delete your Microsoft account you're using a different Microsoft account.

PSN and Minecraft system is not going to recognize the recently created account as the previous

In your case you may need to use now a different PSN account to connect your recently created Microsoft account.

If you need more info, you can double check all this here:

Don't hesitate to ask further questions if necessary

This means you're signing in with the wrong account, you need to use the account you previously signed into Minecraft on PlayStation with.

Since we don't have access to accounts on this chat, you'll need to speak with Xbox Support if you're having trouble accessing the previously connected account: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us

This is regarding Minecraft PS4 version and linking/unlinking a microsoft account.

I linked my sons Microsoft account to MY ps4 account. I didn’t realize this until it was too late. I have since created a new xbox gamer tag for me and using a new email account. It seemed to unlink because there was a flash
with my correct game tag in the bottom left corner but then it said ‘Opps! Looks like this account is already connected. Please sign in with your previously connected Microsoft Account...”.

After deleting all ps4 saved data files for Minecraft and application file and reinstalling application, it still gives me the message “Opps! Looks like this account is already connected. Please sign in with your previously connected
Microsoft Account...”

Anyone know how to unlink a Microsoft account from a PS4 account?

Hi, have you tried to change your ps4 email? i mean, go to the ps4 account and tried to change the email to another?

With Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, you can connect and play online with friends on Pocket Edition as well as the Xbox One Edition. However, until the full rollout of the upcoming Better Together update for Minecraft, you aren't able to connect to servers
outside of realms and what I've previously mentioned.
