How to cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription
Engadget has published a short guide explaining how PlayStation users can cancel their PlayStation Plus subscription, noting that the process is quick regardless of whether it is done via a web browser, the PlayStation app, or a PlayStation console. The piece addresses common reasons subscribers may want to cancel, including price increases, a rotating games library and Sony's move away from physical games, and reassures users that cancellation only takes a few clicks.
After cancelling, users keep access to their subscription benefits until the current payment period ends, after which they lose access to the game library, claimed monthly games, cloud storage and online multiplayer, though any packs, avatars or discounted purchases obtained through the subscription remain theirs permanently. The guide also explains that a cancelled subscription can be reactivated before the next payment date to keep it continuous, otherwise a new subscription must be purchased afterwards.
In short
- PlayStation Plus can be cancelled via web, app or console in minutes
- Benefits continue until the current billing period ends
- Reactivate before next payment date to avoid buying a new subscription
Explained simply
PlayStation Plus is a paid subscription from Sony for people who use its PlayStation consoles. Depending on the plan, it can include online multiplayer, a selection of games, cloud storage for saved games and discounts.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless the user cancels them. Access to the benefits generally continues until the end of the paid period; after that, the games and online features included with the subscription are no longer available. Items such as avatars or content bought at a discount remain with the user.
