How to cancel PlayStation Plus

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling PlayStation Plus — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if PlayStation Plus bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Get notified at launch

Cancel PlayStation Plus in 5 steps

  1. In a web browser, go to PlayStation Account Management and sign in with the account that holds the subscription.
  2. Select Subscription from your account settings.
  3. Find PlayStation Plus and select Cancel below it, then confirm (on a PS5, go instead to Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions and choose Cancel Subscription).
  4. Confirm the cancellation so auto-renewal is switched off.
  5. Save the confirmation email from PlayStation as proof that your subscription will not renew.

What happens after you cancel

PlayStation Plus renews automatically, so cancelling turns off auto-renewal; the membership stays active and is only deactivated starting from the next payment date. You keep your PS Plus benefits, such as online multiplayer and the monthly games, until the current paid period ends. Games you claimed remain playable only while an active PS Plus membership is in place.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

PlayStation Plus auto-renews and is managed through your PlayStation Network (PSN) account, not a third-party app store. Cancel it either in PSN Account Management in a web browser or directly on your console under Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions. If you originally subscribed through a different store or bundle, cancel through that provider instead.

Charged after cancelling PlayStation Plus?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from PlayStation Plus — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will PlayStation Plus charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, PlayStation Plus keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling PlayStation Plus.
Does cancelling PlayStation Plus delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in PlayStation Plus's settings.
How do I know my PlayStation Plus cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from PlayStation Plus and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
