Minecraft not logging in on switch

Christopher Katity · Nov 19, 2022

I am trying to log into Minecraft on my Nintendo switch using my Microsoft account, and it will not let me in a matter what I do. I press the login, and scan the code or type in the website on my phone. When I do so, it takes me to the website where I login. I login successfully, yet here is where the problem occurs. It logs me in, it just leads me to a blank screen on my phone. Nothing will happen on my switch, and it will not login. I have tried other browsers to log into, I have tried other devices to use, and I have tried restarting my switch and doing many things, and it still will not work. I have tried it about a week ago, and it’s still not working now. What do I do?

Error code: crossbow

Hello Jakob H, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry you're having trouble logging into your account. Here are some steps you could take to resolve the issue:

On a different device, open your web browser and navigate to the URL shown in Minecraft: Enter the code shown in Minecraft and click Next}

Start Minecraft on your device: Click the 'Play' button. Click the 'Find Cross-Platform Friends' button. Click on the ‘Sign in for free’ button. On the Minecraft game home screen, select 'Sign in with a Microsoft account'. This will provide you with a screen that will provide you with a unique 8-digit code.

Check your Xbox settings: Make sure you have the latest system update and enable auto-upload by navigating to Settings > Preferences > Capture & Share, in the Auto-Uploads section.

Best regards.

I saw recently other users reporting something similar in the forums.
Could be an issue with Minecraft servers, just to confirm. Are you able to sign in with your Microsoft properly here:

Or here?

Thank you, could be a temporary issue with Minecraft servers.

If you don’t mind please try waiting couple hours. But if the issue persist please report the problem to both Xbox and Minecraft team
