When you have a PS4 or a PS5, it might be a good idea to subscribe to PlayStation Plus. Sony offers a good variety of features with its subscription service, including online multiplayer, Share Play, themes, avatars, online storage, and a list of “free” games, with new ones coming in each month, for both PS4 and PS5.
However, if you no longer want to pay $9.99/£6.99 a month, $24.99/£19.99 a quarter, or $59.99/£49.99 a year, you might be wise to cancel the subscription. Cancelling PlayStation Plus will make it stop renewing itself, but you’ll still have its features for as long as your previous payment lasts.
Remember, though, that features you had with PlayStation Plus will be lost once you’re unsubscribed, including the free games. But, should you get Plus again, those same games will be playable again. PlayStation Plus avatars and packs, as well as purchases made with Plus discounts, will remain with you after you cancel the service.
With all that in mind, check out how to cancel PlayStation Plus, whether that’s via your browser or on PS4 and PS5.
Cancel PlayStation Plus On Web Browser
One easy way to cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription is with a web browser. It can be done with any device that has a browser, be it your phone or your PC.
To cancel PlayStation Plus with your browser, head to the official PlayStation website, hit Sign In at the top right, log in to your account. Click your avatar menu and go to the Subscriptions Management option; select it. Then, choose to Turn Off Auto-Renew for PlayStation Plus.
And there you go, your PlayStation Plus has been cancelled through a web browser.
Cancel PlayStation Plus On PS4
If you want to use your PS4 to cancel your subscription, turn on your console.
You’ll need to roll up to the Settings menu and select Account Management. Go to Manage Membership and choose Subscription. Now, Turn Off Auto-Renewal; leaving feedback is optional. There, you cancelled your PlayStation Plus subscription.
You can also extend your subscription from this same spot.
Cancel PlayStation Plus On PS5
For those with a PS5, cancelling PlayStation Plus is just as easy.
First, head over to Settings and look for Users and Accounts. Select Account and choose Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions > PlayStation Plus. Next, Turn Off Auto-Renew. Again, leaving feedback is optional.
And that’s it, your PS Plus is cancelled via your PS5. If you’re using another subscription service on PlayStation, such as Fortnite Crew, the steps are slightly different.
If you’re also just getting to grips with your PS5, here’s how you can move your PS4 games onto the console as well as install a shiny new internal SSD.
