Unlinking ps4 account minecraft

KirstyLee1 · Jun 7, 2020

Good evening! Long post alert!

When my daughter joined minecraft and microsoft she did not have her own ps4 account. So she played on mine. We have now created user areas for all 3 kids. However in comes the issue of signing her in on her user area! I followed the instructions of unlinking
the account on mine and still when I try and log on in her user area it states this account is already linked. And wouldnt allow me to log in on my own user area with my own microsoft account which has never been linked.

I followed the below instructions on my user area and got myself logged in in my user area

However now that ps4 account is logged in elsewhere I STILL cant log my daughter in on her use area. It still says it's already connected elsewhere even tho I did the whole unlinking!!!! Anyone please got an answer for me without me having to create her
a new Microsoft account

Thank you

********************************************************

The following method worked for me and I was able to login with correct account.

Login with the account already associated.

Do not unlink

Do not sign out

Load the game

Press PS button

Then go to settings

Go to storage

Click on Saved data
It will warn you that Minecraft will be shut down
Press OK
Select Minecraft
Select “Saved Data” file with cog
Press delete
Do the same with second file “Saved data” both have a cog

Once deleted do not restart PS just return to mine craft and sign in using a new login and that’s it.

it is recommended you backup your saved games.

also note that any activity since logging in with previous account will be lost.

Microsoft account is optional and not required to play Minecraft on PS4:tm:. It's a free account that you can use to log into a device. It allows Minecraft players on PS4:tm: to play with others on non-PS4:tm: devices such as iOS, Android, Xbox One, Switch and Windows 10.

A Microsoft account also allows portability of your purchases from Marketplace (non-PS4 devices) or Minecraft Store (PS4) to other devices and platforms. To create a new Microsoft account, go to:

account.microsoft.com

Note Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation:tm: Network account, it cannot be unlinked without losing access to rights and Minecoins on other platforms.

Please note that the account must have an Xbox Social Profile.

if the problem persists, Unlink the Microsoft Account from the game and relink as shown below:

Start Minecraft and go to Settings > Profile;

Select Unlink Microsoft Account;

Check the three checkboxes to confirm that the account cannot access the Store, use cross-play and continue;

Select Unlink;

When the "Unlink Successfully" box appears, go back and sign in with your Microsoft account again.

If you are still not successful:

Logout All Devices to which the account has been connected;

Completely turn off all devices;

Just use the console and try to log into Minecraft with your Microsoft Account.

Maybe your Microsoft account has been linked to a different ps4 Minecraft account and never unlinked? You might just have to make a new Microsoft account to link it to.

This is regarding Minecraft PS4 version and linking/unlinking a microsoft account.

I linked my sons Microsoft account to MY ps4 account. I didn’t realize this until it was too late. I have since created a new xbox gamer tag for me and using a new email account. It seemed to unlink because there was a flash
with my correct game tag in the bottom left corner but then it said ‘Opps! Looks like this account is already connected. Please sign in with your previously connected Microsoft Account...”.

After deleting all ps4 saved data files for Minecraft and application file and reinstalling application, it still gives me the message “Opps! Looks like this account is already connected. Please sign in with your previously connected
Microsoft Account...”

Anyone know how to unlink a Microsoft account from a PS4 account?

Hi, have you tried to change your ps4 email? i mean, go to the ps4 account and tried to change the email to another?

Heya,

Glad this got resolved! Clearing cache should always fix account binding problems.

Hi there Daniel welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. You don't have the option on the "Account" section of the main menu? If don't I think only Microsoft or Sony can unlink your accounts!
