Switch version - does not give achievements to Microsoft account
The Nintendo switch edition of Minecraft legends is connecting to the Microsoft accounts but not giving achievements. Upon a closer look of the achievement section it seems that the game is supposedly the Windows edition according to the Xbox app. Don’t understand why and not sure if this is a big but thought I’d bring it here to find out.

I believe whats going on is that it's showing the Windows version intend of the Nintendo Switch Version. I'm not sure if you're getting the achievements, but I think you are. Still unsure why it shows the Windows versions on some accounts instead of the correct version.

There are two "different games" on the xbox app. One is titled "Minecraft Legends - Windows" and the other is just "Minecraft Legends" for everything non-windows which is where they should be
Thank you for your reply Jadon, I have seen the two versions on the Xbox app but the achievements are coming through and on the Windows edition it is counting up my game play time it seems like the achievements have been set up to the wrong version on the Xbox app so achievements won’t load for it.
Can confirm. The achievements aren't unlocking on Nintendo Switch. In Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons, you can get achievements when signed in to a Microsoft Account. Possibly related to
MCLG-64, because they both involve Microsoft Accounts not working properly on Nintendo Switch.Thank you for your report.
Minecraft Legends does not support achievements on Nintendo Switch platform.
