Cancel Xbox Game Pass in 3 steps
- Open account.microsoft.com/services and sign in with the Microsoft account you pay with.
- Find your Xbox Game Pass subscription.
- Choose to cancel it, or to turn off recurring billing.
On a console: press the Xbox button to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.
What happens after you cancel
- Turning off recurring billing stops future charges, and you keep the benefits until the subscription expires.
- Some people can cancel immediately and get money back, but not every charge is refundable.
- Some countries, including Canada, France and Germany, have specific prorated-refund rules. Xbox's page has a table by country.
Pay through an app store or a phone company?
Xbox's page does not cover every case, such as a subscription bought through a third-party partner. For those, use its cancellation article or the Xbox support chat.
If Xbox Game Pass is billed by Google Play: open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, choose Xbox Game Pass and tap Cancel subscription. Google: cancel, pause or change a subscription on Google Play.
If it is billed by Apple: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Xbox Game Pass and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple: cancel a subscription from Apple.
A tip before you cancel
Charged after cancelling? Xbox support has a dedicated FAQ for that, and the Microsoft services page shows your next charge for each subscription.
Forget the next renewal before it charges you
SubFinito adds up everything you pay for, shows what it costs over ten years, and reminds you before a renewal or a free trial ends. When you cancel Xbox Game Pass, press Finito and it goes in the Graveyard with the money you saved.
Free to use. No account. Android app coming to Google Play.
Questions
