How to Switch a Mojang Account to a Microsoft Account
Posted on by
Mojang recently announced the deadline for Minecraft players to migrate their old accounts to their Microsoft accounts. Failure to switch a Mojang account to a Microsoft account will prevent access to the game’s website, launcher, and its other platforms.
It should only take a few minutes to complete the account migration. However, developer Mojang urges players to contact their customer service or help section if problems appear while switching from the Mojang account to the Microsoft account.
