Are you ready to part ways with your Xbox Game Pass subscription? Maybe your budget's tight, or perhaps you've found another gaming avenue that better suits your needs. Whatever the reason, canceling your Xbox Game Pass is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through it, regardless of whether you're using a console, PC, or the Xbox app on your mobile device.
Cancelling Xbox Game Pass on Your Xbox Console
This method is perfect if you primarily access Game Pass through your Xbox console.
1. Navigate to the Settings Menu: From the Xbox home screen, press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide. Then, select Profile & system > Settings.
2. Access Subscriptions: In the Settings menu, find and select Account > Payments & billing > Subscriptions.
3. Locate Your Xbox Game Pass Subscription: You'll see a list of your active subscriptions. Find your Xbox Game Pass (or Game Pass Ultimate) subscription.
4. Initiate Cancellation: Select your Game Pass subscription. You'll see an option to Cancel. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
Important Note: Remember that you'll still have access to Game Pass until the end of your current billing cycle.
Cancelling Xbox Game Pass on Your PC
If you mostly play Game Pass games on your PC, follow these steps:
1. Open the Xbox app: Launch the Xbox app on your Windows PC.
2. Access Account Settings: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner. Select Settings.
3. Manage Subscriptions: In the Settings menu, navigate to Subscriptions.
4. Cancel Your Subscription: Locate your Xbox Game Pass subscription and select it. Click on Cancel and confirm your decision.
Important Note: As with the console method, your access continues until the end of your paid period.
Cancelling Xbox Game Pass via Mobile App
Using the Xbox app on your phone or tablet? The process remains similar:
1. Open the Xbox app: Launch the Xbox app on your mobile device.
2. Access Your Profile: Tap your profile picture or icon.
3. Navigate to Subscriptions: Look for and select the Subscriptions option (this might be under a section labeled "Account" or "Settings").
4. Find and Cancel Game Pass: Locate your Xbox Game Pass subscription. Tap Cancel and follow the prompts to finalize the cancellation.
Important Note: The cancellation process is consistent across all platforms; you won't lose access immediately.
What Happens After Cancellation?
After you cancel, you'll retain access to your Game Pass games until your current billing period ends. After that, you'll no longer be able to play games included in the subscription. Any games you've downloaded will become inaccessible unless you purchased them separately.
Remember to check your payment information and ensure the cancellation is successful. If you have any issues, contact Xbox support for assistance.
