There are two Xbox acoounts linked to my Microsoft account

JohannesZV · May 13, 2023

There are two Xbox acoounts linked to my Microsoft account and I can't log into the first anymore to which my Minecraft account is linked. I wanted to play Minecraft again but as I logged in it told me that there's an account issue. I went to Microsoft.com and had to recover my Microsoft account. After that I also had to create a new Xbox profile (new gamertag, etc.). Now everytime I want to log into Minecraft it gets me to the new Xbox account with no Minecraft on it, I'm unable to access my old Xbox profile with a different gamertag.

I already reached out to the Xbox support who told me that I should contact Minecraft support. Those guys however said that it's an account problem and I should ask Microsoft.

Couldn't find any stated questions that asked the same, so I try to find help by this way.

Thanks!

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help on your account issue. Just a heads up that you cannot have 2 Microsoft accounts linked to 1 Minecraft or Xbox account. Which means that if you are logged in to the email that you have and is getting a different gamertag, this means that this email is being linked to a different Xbox account and you might be using a different email to your Minecraft account before.

It is possible that this was linked to another Microsoft account email and you need to check your other emails to see if those are linked to the correct Minecraft account. If this was through migration, try to remember what email it was that you used during migration.

If you forgot the email on that account, try to see if you can recover it here:

Hello,

I've had an issue with Minecraft PS4 for a while where I cannot link my Microsoft account with my PlayStation Minecraft account.

When I try to link the two, the error I get is that my Microsoft account is linked to another PSN, when there shouldn't be.

I've tried reinstalling the game and I would like to connect my main Microsoft account as I've got purchases on there

(I'm not sure whether this is relevant but my Microsoft account is also linked to my Nintendo switch Minecraft too)

Any help and advice is much appreciated

Thank you

Had you by chance ever in the past logged into minecraft on a friends Playstation account using your own Microsoft account? Do that would have linked the two.

That being said if the Microsoft account is indeed linked with a different PSN account already then there is no way to fix that. Even if you got the two accounts unlinked it wouldnt let you relink a different account and would only ever let you link the account that is already currently tied to it.
