Xbox Game Pass is a paid subscription service, which opens up access to a library of games that can be downloaded and played on Xbox consoles and PC. The subscription service allows a gamer to pay a monthly or annually charged subscription price and gain access to many games without having to buy these titles separately to play them.
Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass is known for its day-one launches, especially for its first-party titles. All Xbox titles are made available on day one on Xbox Game Pass, giving players the option to play these newly launched titles without paying the premium AAA price for them.
Cancelling an Xbox Game Pass subscription is a straightforward process. Since the Game Pass service is available on both Xbox consoles and PC, we’ve listed down steps for cancellation separately for both platforms.

Xbox Game Pass members can cancel their subscription at any point, which will stop any future charges but all Xbox Game Pass benefits including access to the game library will remain until the subscription period has not expired.
Since Xbox Game Pass subscription charges are incurred monthly or annually, cancelling the subscription in the middle of a month or a year will not immediately end your subscription and will not leave you without any benefits. Cancelling the subscription ensures that the gamer will not be charged again to continue the service. There are some regions (excluding the US and UK) where Microsoft offers an immediate end to the service and a prorated refund.
