Why can't I login to my Microsoft account for Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch?

Dakota Chadwell · Jan 23, 2023

I have tried all ways of doing this, even deleting the game + save data or even just the save data itself, I am repeatedly trying these things and it still won't sign me in even though it says I am logged in. I have even looked at some responses to people with similar questions and they say would work do not work for me.

I open up the login screen, click sign in, put in the correct codes and or correct passwords and whatnot, and check to see if I'm signed in I'm still not logged in since it just takes me back to the sign-in screen. There have been a few times I have gotten error codes that were "crossbow" but I can't access them any longer now since I have deleted all save data and the game a few times. I have even done it with the QR code and still nothing

Hi Dakota! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

May I know exactly where are you trying to sign in? On the Xbox, on a game, or which game in particular?

I'm having trouble signing into my Microsoft account for Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch, I have tried every way to fix this problem with things like deleting saved data, deleting the whole game, both of them at once, restarting the game, etc. I can't seem to find a way around this issue. Each time I sign in, the web browser I'm using to help me sign in (The QR and the link from the sign-in screen) usually says that I am successful yet it doesn't actually sign me in on my console.

Please let me know if you know what I'm doing wrong or just ways to get around this issue I have.

If you can log into Microsoft account | Home just fine and you aren't having any issues with your Microsoft account, you might want to get in touch with the Nintendo Switch support especially if you are facing this on that specific platform alone. However, if you still wish to investigate, you can get in touch with the online support through Contact us | Xbox Support for further assistance because we don't have access to your account.

It may be an issue with your internet. I'm not completely sure what fixed mine, but when it finally worked, I was at a friend's house. Though, it still worked when I went home afterwards, so take this with a grain of salt, I'm no expert.
