Whatever the reason, unlinking a Microsoft account from PSN is a relatively straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do just that:

Preparation:

Before you begin, make sure:

1. You have a valid PSN account.
2. You have a Microsoft account (MSA) associated with your PSN account.
3. You have access to both your PSN account and Microsoft account login credentials.

Unlinking the Microsoft Account from PSN:

1. Sign in to your PSN account: Go to the PSN website, sign in to your account using your PSN login credentials, and navigate to the “Account Management” page.
2. Select “Account Info” or “User Info”: On the Account Management page, click on “Account Info” or “User Info,” depending on your PSN account version.
3. Find the “Linked Accounts” section: Scroll down to the “Linked Accounts” section, which may be located under “Account Settings” or “User Information.”
4. Locate the Microsoft account: Look for the Microsoft account you want to unlink. It should be listed under “Associated Accounts” or “Linked Services.”
5. Select “Remove” or “Unlink”: Click on the “Remove” or “Unlink” button next to the Microsoft account. You may be prompted to confirm the unlinking process.
6. Enter your PSN account password: You may be asked to re-enter your PSN account password to ensure it’s you attempting to unlink the account.
7. Confirm the unlinking process: Review the unlinking process, confirm that you want to proceed, and click on “Confirm” or “Unlink.”
8. Sign back in to your PSN account: Once the unlinking process is complete, sign back in to your PSN account to verify if the Microsoft account has been successfully removed.

What Happens After Unlinking:

After unlinking your Microsoft account from PSN:

• The account will no longer be associated with your PSN account.
