  1. This Xbox Live account is already used with another Steam account on Microsoft Flight Simulator


    I did like to change the old link steam account to a new one that I'm actually using, how do that? I already open a ticket on https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ but look likes I won't get a response at the time before the steam refund policy expire.

    What should I do?

    :)

    This Xbox Live account is already used with another Steam account on Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Hello, my name is Tadeu, I am an Independent Consultant and a member of the Microsoft Xbox community, just like you.

    I apologize for the issue you are experiencing.

    I am here to help.

    I hope everything is going well and thank you for contacting me.

    I understand your concern.

    To change the Microsoft account linked to your Steam account, you will need to unlink your current Microsoft account and then relink it. This can be done by going to your Steam settings, navigating to your account details, and following the instructions to unlink and relink it with your desired Microsoft account.

    1 Open the Steam client on your computer.

    2 Sign in to your existing Steam account.

    3 Click Steam in the top left corner, then select Settings.

    4 In the Settings window, click the Account tab.

    5 Click the link "Click here to view your Microsoft account details.

    6 Follow the on-screen instructions to unlink your current Microsoft account from Steam. This may involve logging into your Microsoft account and authorizing the unlink.

    7 After unlinking, you will be prompted to link a new Microsoft account. Sign in with the desired new Microsoft account and authorize the link.

    Now launch a game that requires a Microsoft account. You will likely be prompted to log in with the new Microsoft account during game launch.

    Please note that this is a public forum only. I will respond as soon as possible, and apologize in advance for any delay in response. I am just a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others. I am not a Microsoft employee.

    Best regards Tadeu

    Question mfs 2020

    Hello Hugo,

    Hope your day is well. You mentioned you want to transfer Microsoft Flight Simulator to Steam. According to the Microsoft Flight Simulator FAQ, "content is tied to the platform you are playing on—if you purchase a DLC on Steam, you cannot transfer it to the Microsoft Store version and vice-versa."

    I hope this answers your question.

    Logging into Xbox on Microsoft Flight Simulator in Steam

    Hello Josh Hamilton,

    Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

    Based on the description, you have uninstalled the Microsoft Flight Simulator from the Steam app trying to reinstall it again. Let us see how we can help.

    It appears that you are stuck in signing in loop with your account that was used to sign in to Steam app. It is possible that it is caused by corrupted saves or profiles.

    We have found an official article from the game developer site that outline how to uninstall the game from Steam app. It was highlighted to make sure that all the packages (including Community packages) are deleted after uninstalling the game. The default package installation location is:

    [table][tr]
    C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages
    [/tr][/table]

    If you have installed the packages in a custom folder, search for that folder instead. Move any leftover files or folders to the Recycle Bin.

    See the link here: How to uninstall Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

    You may also see this link: How to delete a Steam cloud save to fix some loading issues or reset the logbook – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)
