Xbox Game Pass is a great way to play over 100 games for a monthly fee. If the library gets boring and/or you want to drop the service, this guide shows you how to cancel an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Microsoft introduced Xbox Game Pass in June 2017. For $9.99 per month, Xbox owners had access to a rotating library of more than 100 games. The service also provides discounts on these games if you want to keep them in your digital library. Moreover, users had access to the Xbox Play Anywhere games on a Windows PC.

Two years later, Microsoft introduced a similar, stand-alone, all-you-can-eat service for Windows 10, costing $9.99 per month. The company also launched Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which combines both along with Xbox Live Gold for $14.99 per month.

That said, this guide shows you how to cancel these subscriptions. Ultimately, it’s all done through Microsoft’s website, but you can cancel Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and Xbox Live Gold on the console without accessing a PC. Cancelling Xbox Game Pass for PC requires a computer.

Cancel Your Xbox Game Pass Subscription Using a PC

First, open any browser and navigate to your Microsoft account’s Services & Subscriptions page. Log in to your account if needed.

Next, locate your Xbox Game Pass subscription and click the “Manage” link under the Xbox logo.
