So, you're looking to cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription? Whether you're finding the service no longer meets your needs, or simply want to save some money, we've got you covered. This guide provides a clear, step-by-step process on how to cancel PlayStation Plus, regardless of whether you're using a PlayStation console, a computer, or a mobile device.
Cancelling PlayStation Plus on Your PlayStation Console
This is arguably the easiest method for most users. Here's how to cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription directly from your console:
-
Navigate to Settings: From the main PlayStation home screen, select "Settings" (usually represented by a gear icon).
-
Find User & Accounts: Within the Settings menu, locate and select "Users and Accounts."
-
Access Account: Choose "Account."
-
Select Subscriptions: You'll find an option for "Subscriptions." Click on it.
-
Manage PlayStation Plus: Select your PlayStation Plus subscription.
-
Cancel Subscription: You should now see an option to cancel your subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation. Important Note: You'll likely be asked to confirm your decision and might be reminded of when your subscription will end. Make sure you understand this before proceeding.
Cancelling PlayStation Plus on a Computer or Mobile Device
If you prefer managing your subscriptions online, you can cancel through the PlayStation website or mobile app. The process is very similar:
-
Log in to your PlayStation Account: Go to the official PlayStation website or open the PlayStation app and log into your account using your PSN ID and password.
-
Access Account Management: Look for a section related to "Account Management" or "Your Account". The exact wording may vary slightly depending on the platform.
-
Locate Subscriptions: Find the area dedicated to your subscriptions.
-
Manage PlayStation Plus: Select your PlayStation Plus subscription to manage it.
-
Initiate Cancellation: You'll find a clear option to cancel your subscription. Similar to the console method, you'll need to confirm your cancellation and acknowledge when your access will expire.
Understanding Your Cancellation
Important Considerations:
-
Expiration Date: Your PlayStation Plus subscription will continue until its expiration date, even after you cancel. You won't receive a refund for the remaining time in your current billing cycle.
-
Automatic Renewal: Ensure you understand how automatic renewal works. Cancelling ensures that your subscription won't automatically renew after the current period expires.
-
Re-Subscription: If you change your mind, you can always re-subscribe to PlayStation Plus at any time.
