Xbox Game Pass is a great way to play over 100 games for one monthly fee. If the library gets boring and/or you want to leave 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 a month, Xbox owners had access to a rotating library of more than 100 games. The service also offers discounts on these games if you want to keep them in your digital library. Also, users had access to Xbox Play Anywhere games on a Windows PC.
Two years later, Microsoft introduced a similar, standalone, all-you-can-eat service for Windows 10, costing $9.99 per month. The company has also launched Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which bundles both along with Xbox Live Gold for $14.99 a month.
With 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 console without accessing a PC. To cancel Xbox Game Pass for PC a computer is required.
