"Sign in with a Microsoft Account" not working on Minecraft (PS4)

ColinJames6 · Sep 12, 2020

Hi,

I set up my account absolutely no problem. Now I'm trying to set up my girlfriends account and it's completely different.

After I type in the code as aka.ms/remoteconnect instead of just working like it did with my account, it instead redirects to setting up an Xbox Live account. All we want to do is link the Microsoft Account with the Playstation Network account. I don't know
why Xbox Live keeps popping up.

Any suggestions?

:)

When on Minecraft on the PS4 you should have the option to sign into a Microsoft account.

Hi Colin,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are unable to sign in to your Microsoft account through Minecraft for PlayStation 4. Are you able to sign in to your Microsoft account through the Xbox
website and Microsoft website? Does an error message appear when you attempt to sign in to the websites?
If you are able to sign in to the websites without experiencing any issues, we suggest reaching out to Mojang Support and
PlayStation Support for more assistance. Also make sure not signed into Minecraft on any other device. We hope this information helps!

Thanks,

Brad

Hello ObsessedLynx,

I know for Nintendo you would have the have the latest update of Minecraft, all you need to do is sign into your Microsoft account after loading up Minecraft and then you will be able to cross play with your Xbox friends via that. So if it now works on PS4,
your friend would have to sign up for a Microsoft account and log into that.

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)
