Minecraft microsoft account linked to unknown playstation account

Thanks, but I really don’t consider that a solution as I only have 1 main Microsoft account that I use for everything and I’m not interested in trying to dig up accounts I made as a teenager and playing on old accounts that cannot sync with my other devices. Especially when I have already spent hundreds of hours on those other devices on worlds inside Minecraft with friends and family.

I understand it’s A solution and not THE solution but that is the most extreme version of “tough luck” I have seen and if there is nothing else that can be done, then one of the 3 (Microsoft, Minecraft or Sony) needs to step up and make a process as I can’t be the only one having this problem as clearly this is some backend issue that can only be solved by them.

User has issues loging in and using the service -> provider of the service should be able to fix it or provide a path for the user to fix it themselves

Hello, Emils. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Unfortunately, the only way is to keep trying to sign in with all your Microsoft accounts until you find the one that is linked to your PSN account. If you don't remember all your Microsoft accounts, you can follow the steps below:

Waiting for your follow-up.

Dear Gavin Milligan

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the Community.

For your description of your problem with linking Microsoft accounts on Sony's Playstation reporting an error, have you played minecraft on the Playstation before or linked another account, if so, you can follow your method below:

Even if you can unlink the account, Sony won't allow you to link other Microsoft accounts later: How to Link Microsoft and PlayStation Accounts.

How to Link Your Microsoft Account to Minecraft on PlayStation | Minecraft Help

Note: After you link a Microsoft account to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be linked to another account.



If you choose to unlink an account, the purchase transaction will be returned to the account from which the purchase was made. Even if unlinked, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-associated to the original account.



Again, this is a Sony restriction. It is not a restriction imposed by Microsoft/Minecraft.Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes

I am sorry to hear that.

Is your PlayStation account still linked to your Microsoft Account?

You can only link one PSN account to one Minecraft account, if you disconnect it, you won't be able to link another PSN account to it.

I took this from the Minecraft site:

"WARNING: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation Network account can be associated with a different account.

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account that made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation accounts can only be re-linked to the original account."

Hey there, Jake Hyatt

Unfortunetally, with how everything was set up between PlayStation and Microsoft, only one account can be linked to a PlayStation account. This means that when you unlink an account from your PlayStation account, it won't allow you to link another Microsoft account to the PSN account.

You will need to create a new PSN account on your PlayStation and game share your content to other accounts on your PlayStation. Then link your new PSN account to your new Microsoft account.

For instructions on how to gameshare on PlayStation, please see this article here: How to enable PS5 Console Sharing and Offline Play
