Hi, I need help unlinking a Microsoft account from my PS5. I have a different Microsoft account that I want to use for Minecraft, but the game keeps telling me it’s already connected to another account. Could you assist me in fully removing the link so I can sign in with the correct one? Thanks so much

    Unlinking a Microsoft account that is already connected to Minecraft on PS5 cannot be done directly by users through Microsoft account settings; the title or service must provide a way for players to unlink accounts.

    For titles that link publisher/service accounts to Microsoft accounts, users must be given a method to unlink those accounts (either in-game, via a web portal, or a hub app). If Minecraft on PS5 is reporting that the desired Microsoft account is already connected to another PlayStation account, the unlinking must be performed through the Minecraft/Xbox/Microsoft account linkage flow provided by the game or its associated web experience.

    The practical next steps are:

    1. Use the in-game account management or linking menu in Minecraft on PS5 to look for an option to sign out/unlink the current Microsoft account.
    2. If no unlink option is exposed in-game, use the official Minecraft support channel to request unlinking of the Microsoft account from the current PSN profile and to have it associated with the correct Microsoft account instead.
    3. After unlinking is confirmed, sign in again on PS5 with the correct Microsoft account when prompted by Minecraft.

    Because unlinking is enforced at the title/service level, general Microsoft account tools (aliases, device management, etc.) do not remove the Minecraft–PSN link; it must be handled via the Minecraft/Xbox account system or support.
