On the side panel of Microsoft Edge there is a games button, and some of the games there give the option for you to link it to your Microsoft account. I accidentally pressed something that linked a game to my account, how do I undo this action? I have not installed any of the games, and it doesn't say on my Microsoft account that I have linked any game of the sort to my account

    Many game accounts are linking mandatorily to xbox account for allowing online gaming. Like EA, Bethesda, Apex Connect, Ubisoft etc. How do I unlink my xbox account from these games accounts from within xbox or Microsoft. Many of these don't appear in the apps/services sections of Microsoft.

    Only way seems to be unlinking via those games accounts, having to go individually one by one that too if you remember their login details.

    There should be a way to unlink my xbox account from all those external services/ gaming accounts centrally from xbox itself?

    Can anybody guide on this one please?

    Hi Ineedhelppls_702,

    To revoke an app’s third-party access to your Microsoft Account:

    1. Head to account.microsoft.com/account and log into your account.
    2. Click on the Privacy tab at the top of the page. You may need to verify your identity via an email code.
    3. Scroll down to the Other privacy settings section.
    4. Go to Apps and Services> Apps and services that can access your data.
    5. Review the list of apps and establish which you want to revoke.
    6. Click on Edit below the corresponding app’s name.
    7. Select Remove these permissions.
