Linking Microsoft account to PlayStation 4 Minecraft

SteveMcQueen5 · Feb 23, 2021

So I have been looking everywhere but I couldnt find an answer so I figured I’d give this a go.

I created a Microsoft account so I could play Realms on Minecraft on my PS4. I made a mistake with the account that I linked, so I UNLINKED my first account and created a SECOND Microsoft account. When I try to link the SECOND account, minecraft displays a message that I already have Microsoft account linked. But I dont anymore. I unlinked my first one. To make matters worse, I went to Microsoft and CLOSED my first account in the hopes that would fix it. It still will not let me link another Microsoft account even though I have UNLINKED AND DELETED THE FIRST ACCOUNT.

All of your help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation™ Network account, it cannot be unlinked without loss of access to entitlements and Minecoins on other platforms.

That is according to the Minecraft website.

First, make sure that your Microsoft account has a Gamertag by logging in to http://account.xbox.com/ or the Xbox app. Then, I would recommend reinstalling the game on your PS4 system. That should force the game to make you login again.
