Switching PlayStation MC account to a new Mirosoft account?

Tyler Heidinga · Apr 15, 2025

So my dad recently gave me his PSN account because he is now a PC gamer, and so I figured I would log into Minecraft with my Microsoft account, but it said the PSN account was already linked to another Microsoft account.

How exactly would I go about unlinking my dad’s Microsoft user from my PSN account so I can link my own?

Hi Tyler, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Tyler, Microsoft does not link or unlink accounts from external platforms, your case of linking your father's account to PSN, only your father can resolve it and only before PSN support.

Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time within the possible apologizing in advance for any delay in response. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

Hi Derek. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. I understand you want to change the Microsoft account linked to your PlayStation Network account. Unfortunately, according to Xbox Support and Mojang, after you've linked these accounts, the connection can't be undone. You won't be able to link another Microsoft account to your PlayStation Network account. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,

You mentioned on your post that "3 weeks ago i unlinked my main account from mc to log in an alt". How exactly have you unlinked your Microsoft account to login with an alternative account?

You played with both Microsoft accounts (main and alternative) using the same Playstation account?
