Minecraft “Save to Microsoft Account” option not showing

Hi there David welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Just open Minecraft and then go to the Settings option. After that, press on the Profile tab from multiple Settings options. You will now see a Sign Out of your Microsoft account on the right-hand side; simply tap on this option to log out of your account.

Now, wait for some time, and then try to log in to your account on Minecraft. Enter the right login credentials and sign in back to your account. When you successfully log in, you will be prompted with Save to Microsoft Account and Leave on Device options. You need to click on the Save to Microsoft Account and then press the Continue button on the next prompt. Now, press Continue and then enter your Microsoft account username and password when prompted with Are you trying to sign in to Minecraft PE? You can try reconnecting to external servers and hopefully, the problem should be fixed!

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to remove the Minecraft account that is linked to your PS5 account.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please open Minecraft on your PS5 and go to the "Settings" menu.

And then navigate to the "Accounts" section and look for the option to unlink the Microsoft account. Kindly conform the action for the unlinking request.

For your reference, please open this link: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/29...

If the unlinking option isn't available, you may need to delete the saved data for Minecraft. To do this, go to your PS5's "Settings" menu.

Select "Storage" > "Saved Data" > "Console Storage."

Locate Minecraft and delete the saved data files (this won't affect your world designs).

And then relaunch the game and follow the setup instructions to link a new Microsoft account.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I made a Microsoft account and went to the website thing and used the code. It said that i was good to go but when i went onto Minecraft and clicked "sign into a Microsoft account" It loads for a bit and then comes up with a "Failed to Login" and says something
went wrong.

I've looked up videos and changed my password and nothing has worked so far, does anyone know how to fix this or why its happening?

I had the same problem but FIXED IT. I reset the password several times, contacted Microsoft support, PS4 support, reinstalled the game, everything. My boyfriend logged into my Microsoft account on his Xbox, so I knew that it wasn't the account. Playstation
is also notorious for having problems cross-platform, so I figured at this point, it had to be a problem with the data transfer or verification between Mojang and Playstation.

1) I SAVED MY WORLDS TO PS4 ONLINE STORAGE: On Home PS4 screen, toggle to Minecraft app and press "options" button on your controller. Choose "Upload/Download Saved Data. "Select and upload" your worlds and save to Online Storage (requires Playstation Plus
subscription)

2) I TURNED OFF AUTOMATIC UPLOAD SAVED DATA: Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Auto-Upload > Uncheck

3) I DELETED THE SAVED DATA FOR MINECRAFT: Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Delete > Checked Minecraft and deleted

4) I RESET THE PS4 AND RESTARTED MINECRAFT: It will reset the Minecraft app completely from start. You will need to chose if you want voice service and re-link your Microsoft account to Minecraft. Your data will be completely gone, but your Microsoft account
and your PSN will re-sync perfectly.

5) I DOWNLOADED MY SAVED WORLDS FROM PS4 ONLINE STORAGE: On Home PS4 screen, toggle to Minecraft app and press "options" on your controller. Choose "Upload/Download Saved Data". "Select and Download" your worlds.

Everything should be back on your Minecraft account with a working sign-in! Hope this helps!!

That is NOT what the prompt says, it says "Save purchases to a Microsoft Account", with a button that says "Save to Microsoft Account". No where is it mentioned that they are 2 different products, and you cannot save your purchases. Clicking "Save to Microsoft
Account" does nothing, other than sign you into your Microsoft Account.

The Full text:

"Do you want to play with whatever you buy from any Minecraft Store enabled system? Sign in with a FREE Microsoft account and sync your purchased Skins, Textures, Maps, and Mash-ups to use and play in Minecraft!

If you lose your system or uninstall Minecraft, your purchases will still be synced and accessible on any system when you use your Microsoft account."

Please DO NOT respond if you are unsure or do not know the answer.

Try logging in to her account on Xbox one than Download Minecraft, There should be a option to load up old worlds from the data saved on that account.
