Use minecraft microsoft account seperatly from xbox/microsoft apps

Hello -LukeHarris-,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



We understand that you wanted to use separate accounts for Minecraft and Microsoft Store and Xbox game bar. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

Minecraft usually displays the error message that you should be using the same account in Microsoft Store and Minecraft Launcher. In that case, your request on using separate account might not work and might not be effective. On the other hand, you may try to use different account on Xbox game bar and see if you can record your gameplay or chat with your friends while playing Minecraft. If that won't work, then this could be because of how Microsoft account should be using one credentials for every service which includes the game.



If any case that would not work, feel free to leave a suggestion to Team Xbox, using this link: Xbox Support.

Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,

Install the Minecraft launcher from the Microsoft/Xbox app, then select Minecraft bedrock edition, you will be able to access the game now that you have the account that made the purchase logged in the Microsoft store app

The launcher it's free if you don't have it select get on the Microsoft store app to add it to your account

You don't need an Xbox, there's an Xbox app for PC that is used to access the Xbox services on games

Don't know what you mean when you mention unverified app, as all Xbox apps are from Microsoft

You can't play Minecraft without a Microsoft account currently

Do you have/use another Microsoft account on your computer? Or is there any chance that another Microsoft account was being used to sign in on the Microsoft store, the Xbox app or Minecraft?

Absolutely, AdenBoyer. Along with the migration, we will now use the Microsoft login moving further. Just make sure that you're signed in using the Microsoft account that you used in migrating.

Kindly check on Microsoft Store or Xbox App "Minecraft Launcher" then install it from there.
