"This Roblox account has been linked to another PlayStation account in the past 90 days." If you're seeing this message, you're locked out of playing Roblox on your PlayStation with your main account. The cooldown exists to prevent account sharing abuse, but it catches legitimate players constantly.
I've seen this happen to siblings sharing a console, people who sold their PS4 and bought a PS5, and players who accidentally linked the wrong account. The fix depends on your situation.
Why the 90-Day Cooldown Exists
Roblox limits how often you can switch which PlayStation account is linked to your Roblox account. This prevents:
- Account selling/trading
- Multiple people sharing one Roblox account
- Exploiting family sharing features
The problem: legitimate use cases trigger it too. Roblox doesn't care WHY you're switching accounts, just that you did.
Understanding the Linking System
Each Roblox account can link to ONE PlayStation Network (PSN) account at a time. When you link:
- Your Roblox progress syncs to that PSN
- You can only play that Roblox account on that PSN
- Unlinking starts a 90-day cooldown before you can link to a different PSN
The cooldown is on the ROBLOX account, not the PSN account. Your PSN can link to a different Roblox account immediately, but your Roblox account is locked.
Scenario 1: Wrong Account Linked
You accidentally linked your alt Roblox account instead of your main.
The bad news: You have to wait 90 days to link your main account to your PSN.
Workaround:
- Create a new PSN account (free)
- Link your main Roblox account to the new PSN
- Play on the new PSN profile
- After 90 days, unlink and relink to your original PSN if you want
This works but means playing on a separate PSN profile. Your PlayStation trophies and friends list won't carry over.
Scenario 2: Bought a New PlayStation
You sold your PS4 and bought a PS5, but the old owner's PSN is still linked to your Roblox.
Wait, that's not how it works. Linking is account-based, not console-based. If you log into YOUR PSN on the new PS5, your Roblox link should work fine.
If you're still having issues:
- Make sure you're signed into the correct PSN
- Check that Roblox is linked to that PSN (Settings > Account Info on Roblox website)
- Reinstall Roblox on the new console
The 90-day cooldown shouldn't apply here unless you're trying to use a different PSN than before.
Scenario 3: Sharing Console With Family
Multiple people use the same PlayStation, each with their own PSN and Roblox accounts.
This should work fine. Each PSN can link to its own Roblox account. The cooldown only triggers when ONE Roblox account tries to link to MULTIPLE PSN accounts.
Setup for family sharing:
- Each family member has their own PSN account
- Each family member has their own Roblox account
- Each person links their Roblox to their PSN
- Switch PSN profiles on PlayStation to switch Roblox accounts
No cooldown issues because each Roblox account stays with one PSN.
Scenario 4: Actually Hit the Cooldown
You legitimately need to switch PSN accounts and are stuck in the 90-day wait.
Options:
Wait it out. 90 days is about 3 months. Mark your calendar.
New Roblox account. If your progress isn't important, make a new Roblox account and link it to your desired PSN immediately.
Play on other platforms. Your Roblox account works on PC, mobile, and Xbox. Progress syncs across platforms. Play there until the cooldown ends.
Contact Roblox Support. Some players report success getting the cooldown lifted for legitimate reasons (account compromise, family situations). No guarantee, but worth trying.
How to Properly Unlink Accounts
If you need to unlink your Roblox from PlayStation:
- Go to roblox.com on a browser
- Log into your Roblox account
- Click the gear icon > Settings
- Go to Account Info
- Find PlayStation under connected accounts
- Click Disconnect
This starts the 90-day cooldown. You can immediately link to a different PSN, but you can't link back to the original PSN for 90 days.
Before unlinking, consider:
- Do you actually need to unlink?
- Can you solve the problem another way?
- Are you prepared for the 90-day wait if you change your mind?
Contacting Support
If you have a legitimate reason for needing the cooldown lifted:
- Go to Roblox Support
- Select Account Issues
- Explain your situation clearly
Good reasons that might work:
- Account was compromised and linked without permission
- Family emergency requiring account transfer
- Purchased a used console with previous owner's link
Reasons that probably won't work:
- "I changed my mind"
- "I want to use a different PSN"
- "90 days is too long"
Support responses take 3-7 days. Be patient and polite.
Preventing Future Issues
Before linking:
- Make sure you're on the correct PSN profile
- Verify you're logging into the right Roblox account
- Double-check before confirming the link
Account management:
- Use different emails for different Roblox accounts
- Name accounts clearly (Main, Alt, etc.)
- Keep login info somewhere safe
Family setups:
- Each person gets their own PSN
- Each person gets their own Roblox account
- Never share Roblox accounts across PSN profiles
Xbox vs PlayStation Linking
Xbox has a similar system but with some differences:
- Xbox also has linking cooldowns
- The duration might differ
- Cross-platform progress works the same
If you play on both consoles, each console account links separately to your Roblox account. You can have both Xbox and PlayStation linked to the same Roblox account simultaneously.
Common Questions
Can I play Roblox on PlayStation without linking?
No. PlayStation requires account linking to play. You can't use Roblox as a guest.
Does the cooldown affect my Roblox account on other platforms?
No. PC, mobile, and Xbox access are unaffected. Only PlayStation linking is restricted.
Can I speed up the cooldown?
No legitimate way exists. Anyone claiming otherwise is scamming.
What happens to my progress during the cooldown?
Your Roblox progress is safe. You just can't access it on PlayStation until you can link again.
Can I make a new PSN to bypass this?
Yes. New PSN accounts can link to your Roblox account immediately. But you'll have a separate PlayStation profile.
The 90-Day Calendar
If you're waiting out the cooldown, here's roughly when it ends based on when you unlinked:
| Unlinked Date | Cooldown Ends |
|---|---|
| January 1 | April 1 |
| January 15 | April 15 |
| February 1 | May 2 |
| March 1 | May 30 |
The cooldown is exactly 90 days from the unlink, not calendar months.
