The Xbox Game Pass, along with its diverse subscription plans, offers exceptional value for gaming enthusiasts. However, there may be instances when you wish to alter or discontinue your membership. Whether you're accessing the service on an Xbox console or utilizing the PC Game Pass, modifying or canceling your subscription is a straightforward process.
Guidelines for Terminating Your Game Pass Subscription
Individuals aiming to cancel their Xbox Game Pass subscription have multiple options available. A simple method involves navigating to your account settings on Microsoft's official website.
After logging into your Microsoft account, navigate to the Services & Subscriptions section, prominently displayed at the top of the webpage. This area lists all your Microsoft subscriptions, including your Xbox Game Pass membership.
To terminate your Xbox Game Pass subscription online, click on Manage, followed by Cancel subscription. Microsoft will prompt you to confirm the cancellation and present alternative plans you might consider instead of ending your subscription.
Depending on your country of residence, you may be eligible for a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. However, in most regions, the subscription will simply expire at the conclusion of the current billing period.
To manage your Game Pass subscription directly from an Xbox Series X, Series S, or even the older Xbox 360, press the Xbox button on your console. Go to Profile & System > Settings, then select Account > Subscriptions > Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation to finalize the process.
Steps to Modify Your Xbox Game Pass Subscription
If your goal is to modify your Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can manage this both online and through your Xbox console. Using a web browser, log into your Microsoft account and go to Services & Subscriptions. Click Manage, then Cancel subscription. Microsoft will present various Game Pass alternatives under the heading Find something that suits you better. Choose your desired plan and click Switch now.
To alter your Xbox Game Pass plan directly on your console, press the Xbox button to open the Guide. Navigate to Profile & System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions > Change plan, and select the new plan you wish to switch to.
What are the consequences of canceling Game Pass?
While canceling Game Pass can reduce your expenses, doing so will revoke your access to any games downloaded through the service during its active period. Additionally, you’ll miss out on exclusive discounts and monthly free game offerings. For Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, cancellation also means losing access to Xbox Cloud Gaming services.
