How to Cancel PlayStation Plus & Stop Auto-Renewal (Updated 2026)

⏰ 2-3 minutes medium Last Updated: 2026-05-22 $9.99/mo 🛡️ Written & Verified by Consumer Advocacy Team

PlayStation Plus cancellation turns off auto-renewal — you keep access for the remainder of your paid period. The process works through your console or the PlayStation website. This guide is fully updated for the June 2026 PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium plan catalog rotations and price structures.

Go to PlayStation subscription management

On PS5: Settings → Users and Accounts → Account → Payment and Subscriptions → Subscriptions. On web: store.playstation.com/subscriptions. Sign in with your PSN account.

Select PlayStation Plus

Click or tap on your PlayStation Plus subscription (Essential, Extra, or Premium). You'll see your renewal date and plan details.

Turn off auto-renewal

Click "Turn Off Auto-Renew" or "Cancel Subscription". Confirm when prompted.

This keeps your current access until the plan expires — you don't lose it immediately.

Confirm

Confirm your choice. Your PS Plus benefits continue until the expiration date. After that, you lose access to the game catalog, cloud saves (on Essential), and online multiplayer.

Download your cloud saves locally before your plan expires if you're on Essential (cloud saves require PS Plus).

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

Sony offers refunds within 14 days of purchase (if service hasn't been significantly used). Contact PlayStation Support via chat or phone. Regional policies vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my PS Plus Extra or Premium games in June 2026?
Games rotating out of the PS Plus Extra or Premium catalogs in June 2026 become unplayable, even if you claimed them. To prevent unexpected auto-renewals on your credit card after these catalog changes, turn off auto-renewal immediately using our step-by-step guide.
Will I lose my free PS Plus games?
They stay in your library but are locked. If you re-subscribe, they immediately become playable again. You don't need to re-claim them.
Can I play online without PS Plus?
Free-to-play games (Fortnite, Apex Legends, Genshin Impact) don't require PS Plus for online play. Paid games do require at least PS Plus Essential.
Can I get a refund for PlayStation Plus?
Sony offers refunds within 14 days of purchase in most regions, provided you haven't streamed or downloaded content from the service. Contact PlayStation Support.
What happens to my cloud saves?
Cloud saves become inaccessible without PS Plus Essential. However, they're preserved on Sony's servers. Re-subscribing restores access. Download saves locally as backup.
