    Minecraft cross-play with the same Microsoft Account


    I’ve been looking for a solution hog this but don’t seem to be able to find a specific answer to this question.

    My son has Minecraft for his Nintendo Switch.

    I have Minecraft for the Xbox Series S.

    We want to play on the same map.

    When I was asked to sign in to Microsoft on the Switch I used my usual Microsoft accounti ie the same one that signed in to the Xbox.

    I set up a multiplayer game on the Switch, but could not see how to join on the Xbox.

    If I search for friends on the Switch it shows me my Xbox friends. If I search my gamer tag on Xbox, it says I’m already playing.

    In essence: is it possible to ‘play with myself’ cross-platform or do I need to jump through more hoops?

    As a side not to this I’ve also tried playing split screen on the Switch by detaching the Joy-Cons and using one each but it only seems to let me connect both at once. Do I need a separate controller to make this work?

    Thanks.

    :)

    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

    I can't use my ea account because my email is linked to an old account

    Hi I kinda have the same problem. On my PS5 I have a old Microsoft account linked to my Minecraft and no longer have access to the old Microsoft account and just need it unlinked so I can put my new Microsoft account on it so I can play cross platform

    Microsoft Account

    you can only cross play with Minecraft on PSN you can not transfer a Microsoft account to a psn account. just because the game is on different systems.

    How do I relink Microsoft account to Minecraft Dungeons ps4

    "Unable to sign in

    We could not link your account for Playstation Network to a Microsoft account at this time

    This Microsoft account has already been linked to a different account for Playstation Network

    You can attempt to sign in again anytime from settings>game>cross-platform play"

    Although I'm using the same psn account I linked my Microsoft account on and I have the same account linked to normal Minecraft but Minecraft Dungeons doesn't login

    I hope you can find a fix to this problem.

    Thanks
