Xbox Game Pass Price Increase: Is It Time to Cancel?

Microsoft recently announced significant price adjustments for Xbox Game Pass, with some tiers now reaching up to $29.99 monthly. While temporary discounts may still be available, many subscribers are questioning whether the service remains worth the cost. If the new pricing doesn’t align with your budget or you’re not utilizing the service enough to justify the expense, canceling your subscription is a simple process.

How to Cancel Xbox Game Pass Subscription

You can cancel your Xbox Game Pass membership through two primary methods – either via web browser or directly on your Xbox console. The cancellation process typically takes just a few minutes, and you’ll maintain access to all subscription benefits until your current billing period concludes.

Canceling via Web Browser

To cancel through Microsoft’s website:

Sign in to your Microsoft account
Navigate to Services & Subscriptions section
Locate your Xbox Game Pass subscription
Select Manage and choose Cancel
Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation

Canceling on Xbox Console

For console cancellation:

Press the Xbox button on your controller
Go to Profile & System > Settings
Select Account > Subscriptions
Choose Xbox Game Pass and select Cancel
Confirm your decision when prompted

What Happens After Cancellation

Once you cancel, your subscription will remain active until the end of your prepaid period. You won’t be charged again, and the cancellation takes effect immediately after your current term expires. It’s worth noting that as originally reported by imdmonitor.com, many subscribers are reconsidering their memberships following the recent price adjustments.

Important Considerations: Before canceling, ensure you’ve used any remaining subscription time and consider downloading any games you want to keep accessible. If you change your mind later, you can always resubscribe, though you may encounter different pricing tiers.
