Why does minecraft say my Microsoft account is linked to a different account out when I...

I have this same error.

Except to my knowledge I have never linked my Microsoft account and PSN before trying to do so today. I only recently linked my Java edition minecraft to my Microsoft account, and today thought I'd try the Playstation version of the game. When I log into my microsoft account it says it is already connected to a different account.

How can I find out which Microsoft account has been linked to my PSN?

Ok, so as it turns out, Minecraft for Windows was bought on a different Microsoft account but everything on Minecraft is linked to the account that can't buy it. Is there a way to link the purchases between the two? Because when opening it with the launcher it will not allow access because I have a different account logged in on the Microsoft store.

I went through the linking process numerous times, but now it's saying a different account is linked... When I havent linked it until I bought Minecraft for my PS4. I also have no other Microsoft account that could possibly be linked.

Yes, when I check where they usually are in the launcher it isn't there. But it does say it is a confirmed purchase on my Microsoft which again is link to my Minecraft Java account.

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums! I understand that you have created separate Microsoft accounts for your kids. Minecraft on Nintendo Switch does seem to have different log-in instructions compared to console or pc. I am linking the Minecraft site so that you can check out the official Microsoft account login instructions. Minecraft and Microsoft Accounts | Minecraft
