Hello Keabetswe Matai,

Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Q&A Forum.

When a PS5 game asks you to sign in with a Microsoft account but repeatedly boots you out, here are the most reliable solutions that you can try:

1 - Clear the game’s saved login data on your PS5

• Go to Settings
• Saved Data and Game/App Settings
• Choose your game
• Delete its Saved Data (Console Storage)

2 - Use a phone or computer to complete the Microsoft login

• Many PS5 games display an 8‑digit code and direct you to Microsoft link
• Enter the code there instead of trying to log in through the PS5 browser, which often causes the looping issue.

If the above steps did not resolve the issue, please proceed to the steps below:

3 - Check Microsoft account security settings

• Visit Microsoft Account Security
• Temporarily disable password‑less logins or app-only authentication
• Try linking again

4 - Reset your Microsoft password

• Change your password
• Restart your PS5
• Re‑launch the game and try signing in again

Answer 2

I cannot provide specific guidance on linking a Microsoft account to a PlayStation 5 account, as the context does not contain relevant information on that topic. However, if you are experiencing issues with signing in to your account after loading an online game, it may be helpful to check the account linking process specific to the game you are playing or consult the support resources for that game.

For issues related to Microsoft accounts and PlayFab, it is important to ensure that you are using the correct account type and that your accounts are properly linked if applicable. If you continue to face difficulties, consider reaching out to the game's support team for assistance.
