My brother and I were trying to play on a world we’ve had for weeks, but it wouldn’t let him join. I sign in and open the world, then he uses the menu button to “join as player 2” and then clicks his account that he has already signed into with his controller. Instead of logging in as his character with his items, it creates a guest account “username(2)” and puts him at spawn. Have tried restarting console, shutting down console, uninstalling and reinstalling game, removing and signing back into Xbox accounts, and using a different controller but nothing worked.

Same is happening on PS4 and PS5. We were using realms though and I opened a ticket. I didn’t see this ticket due to being on the realms filter.
Same on Xbox and I can only have two people on split screen. Can’t have 3 or 4. When I sign into my girlfriends account it logs her in as guest.
This is happening to my boyfriend and I as well, we are a year deep into our world (36 full days of play time) and can not get into his account. It keeps signing in as ‘myaccount(2)’
I'm having this same issue on Xbox. We've tried to do resets, signing in second person on the console and then switch user to load games. This is only happening since updating.
Same this is happening to me and my girlfriend.
