Minecraft is telling me my Microsoft account is already linked to another PSN but I have...

Hi Josef, I’m having the same issue however this is the first time I’ve got minecraft on any PlayStation, I’ve tried logging in to Minecraft on PS5 and it gives me the same message, there is only my account on my PS5 yet it says my Microsoft account is already linked to another PSN account, I do not have minecraft on PS4. I attempted to use a different Microsoft account but all I got was a signing in screen for 10 minutes so gave up.

(Edit: just installed minecraft on my ps4 with the same PSN account and also says the Microsoft account is linked to a different PSN account but Nintendo switch works fine so seems to be an issue with PlayStation minecraft)

Hi, wanted to ask, since i cant relink my microsoft account with another psn.Would it be possible for me to delete the account completely and make a new microsoft account with the same email, then link it to another psn? this is for minecraft services .

Account linking is handled on Sony, or any other company's side, so you'll have to contact them. All fo this exists on their servers and not MS, who merely provides authentication

Obviously not. Sony does not link anything to anything, this is a Mojang thing, or a Microsoft thing.

Technicaly, Mojang grabs my PSN id, and uses it to check if I am able to play online, and handle the funds and stuff like that.

This is exactly the **** that drives me insane, everyone is pointing to the other. Here is the thing: I am opening a Mojang game, that directs me to a Microsoft site to authenticate. Sony only provides my PSN id in this game, and I tend to believe that, being a software developer for 25 years now.

Strange enough, the same thing does not happening with the Nintendo Switch (cross-platform connection and login is very, very buggy though)

IF the Microsoft account is already linked to a different PSN account, as Minecraft error states, I MUST have a way to SEE this link somewhere in my Microsoft account. This is not the case, as, of course it is not linked. The previous versions actually displayed the linked account, but conveniently this is removed from the error message.

You cannot see on the Microsoft website if you linked your PSN account to it or not.

Have you ever played Minecraft on your or a friend's Playstation?

Or maybe have a friend ever played Minecraft on your Playstation?

I ask because maybe your Microsoft account is not linked to any PSN account, but the PSN account on your PS5 is already linked to other Microsoft account - which makes it impossible for you to sign in and link your current Microsoft account to it.
