    NEW FIX for PS4 Error Message: Microsoft account already linked to PSN


    I, as several of you, have had this issue when attempting to link my Microsoft account to my PS4. It will give the message that it was already linked even though I did not have another account. After nearly a year of trying to sign in I found a simple fix. I have sent this guide to others in discord to see if it works and so far it has. If this works for you, please share this thread, I will be making another thread on Reddit to try and help others. The first couple of steps sound familiar but it's the last steps that make it key. This is not a 100% guarantee fix, but I will show you what I have done, and what I have told others to do, which has worked so far.

    1. Go into Settings>[Storage]>[System Storage ]>[Saved Data]>[Minecraft] and then delete the saved data's that have the blue background and the gear icon in the middle.
    2. I then reopened the game to where it will treat it like I have never opened the game since the update and it will give me the chance to link my Microsoft account.
    3. Follow the instructions. Don't worry, it will give you the same fail message, it might even say it's signing you in but when you hit cancel it will pop up the "Oops!" error message.
    4. Once you have hit ok on the error message scroll down in the menu and start up the old Minecraft PS4 edition located in the "Editions" tab of the menu. It will ask you if you want to "Launch Editions", click Yes.
    5. Once you are in the old Minecraft PS4 Edition just chill in the lobby for around 30 seconds. Play with the tabs, but make sure not to changed anything in the settings.
    6. After about 30 seconds click "Launch New Minecraft" in the menu of the old PS4 Edition. This will bring you back into the current edition of Minecraft
    7. Now if done correctly, it should automatically sign you into the Microsoft account you were previously trying to link.
    This took me around two tries with this technique, so if it doesn't work restart the application and try it again.

    I hope this works for y'all. I have been trying to figure this out for months and by luck I got it to work last night. As I said before I even helped a friend of mine on discord with this issue and it worked for him. If this works for you, please share this thread as I know several people are looking for this fix.

    Thanks!

    I can't sign into my ps4 Microsoft account on minecraft.

    Hello Vortex Husker,

    Thanks for clarifying, the unlink process will depend on the PlayStation account policy for this game.

    Should you be getting an error message like this: "looks like this account is already connected." You may try to check this bug raised to Minecraft support team - [MCPE-96635] Says "looks like this account is already connected" and Unlinking Microsoft Account does not work - Jira (mojang.com).

    However, for the error message: "Microsoft account already linked to PSN." You may try to follow the steps that worked on them: NEW FIX for PS4 Error Message: Microsoft account already linked to PSN - Microsoft Community.

    Otherwise, you may need to reach out to the game support for assistance: PlayStation Support

    Need help with linking a Minecraft account to a Microsoft Account after having the linked account terminated due to being compromised.

    Unfortunately creating a new Microsoft account with the old email doesn’t work :c

    The other option is create a new PSN account and link this new Microsoft account
    You can still play Minecraft if your PS4 is the primary PS4

    I'm trying to sign in to my PS5 with my Microsoft account and it says it already linked and I don't know what's wrong. Please help

    Hi Frank, I hope you are well.

    The message that your Microsoft account is already linked to your PS5 indicates that a Microsoft account has already been associated with your PlayStation Network (PSN) ID and cannot be linked again. This is because you can only link one Microsoft account to one PSN account at a time.

    Need help with linking a Minecraft account to a Microsoft Account after having the linked account terminated due to being compromised.

    Yes, I already understood that

    Sorry if I you misunderstood my words. What I mean to say is:
    Create a new PSN account and link a new Microsoft account with this new PSN account

    If you have enabled primary PS4/5 on the account used to purchase Minecraft, you can access to the game in that way (without purchasing it again)

    But if maybe you have things purchased with the other PSN account, you’re not going to be able to use that content

    Minecraft and PSN account association

    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)
