Why is Ubisoft Connect Unable to Link Xbox Account?

▶

Ubisoft Connect is unable to link an Xbox account if the Ubisoft account has previously been linked to a different Xbox account, creating a permanent connection. To resolve this issue, users must try to link their Xbox account to a Ubisoft account that has not been linked to any other Xbox account in the past.

Understanding the Issue

The error occurs when the Microsoft account was previously linked to another Ubisoft account, and users must first unlink it in their Ubisoft subscription account management before relinking the Ubisoft account used for the purchase of Ubisoft+.

Resolving the Issue

To link accounts, users can log in to the Account Information webpage, scroll down to the Linked accounts section, and select Link under the logo of the platform they want to connect, following the on-screen instructions.
