Xbox Games Steam Sign in

Howdy everyone,

I have been trying to log into multiple Microsoft games (Master Chief Collection, Halo Infinite, Sea of Thieves, etc.) on Steam, but I come up with the same issue across the board. I get a message saying:

Something went wrong

There is a problem with your Microsoft account. To fix this, sign in to account.live.com from a browser

When I go to said website and sign in, there are no instructions on what the issue is or how to fix it.

Please help, just trying to play ODST.

:)

Change your password at account.live.com and then try to sign into those games again.

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure what your question is, can you please elaborate?

Steam and Xbox are two separate systems. To play a Steam game you'll need to be signed in with your Steam account on the Steam app. If you have any games that use Xbox Live, you'll need to sign in to those with your Microsoft account in-game.

Since Xbox Live is free on PC, you can also use multiple accounts, but not at the same time.

Hi Mooiaapie,

Have you re-installed your Steam client? if you haven't done so, I recommend doing that since it's the Steam client that is responsible for providing the sign-in window to sign into the Microsoft Account that has the Xbox Live profile on it. As mentioned
previously by an Xbox Ambassador, you should also make sure that your Steam account is linked to your Microsoft account.

To link an account from a game purchased on Steam:

Open Steam and then launch a game that supports Xbox account linking (e.g. Gears 5).
Sign in to Xbox Live when prompted.
Select the account linking option in the game’s menu.
When the Steam account linking overlay appears, select Yes, continue.
Choose which friends you want to follow.

Click on the link provided by our Xbox Ambassador for steps on how to link the two accounts from the Xbox Game Bar or from the Xbox app (Beta) if the sign in window does not pop up when launching Gears 5 from the Steam client.

as you logged in from steam with the banned account it will now associate that steam account as banned too. you cannot avoid an xbox live ban by logging into an xbox live game via steam with a different account now.

so if you managed to unlink the microsoft account and signed in with another then xbox live will know which steam account it is and will not let you on.

it's ok thnx 📎

I play an FPS on Xbox and a football game on Steam. I have the Xbox and Steam apps running at the same time as the games because that way I can still communicate with friends on the other screen, and the FPS actually requires that you be signed in in order to be able to play. I think the same's true for the Steam game.

Something is happening to make this extra heat anyway.
