How to View and Cancel Your PlayStation Subscriptions (PS Plus and More)
Paths verified as of 2026-07-20
PlayStation Plus and the various app subscriptions you can add to your account all run through your PlayStation Network account, which means you can manage them from a console or from a web browser. The wording PlayStation uses can be a little confusing, so knowing whether you are canceling or just turning off auto-renew is the key.
The fast answer
As of mid-2026, from a web browser:
- Go to playstation.com and sign in.
- Click your profile icon in the top right.
- Choose Subscription Management.
- Select PlayStation Plus (or the subscription you want to end).
- Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
From a PS5 console: Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions, then pick the subscription and select Cancel Subscription.
Cancel versus turn off auto-renew
PlayStation gives you two phrasings that reach nearly the same outcome, and seeing both can make you wonder if you did it right.
- Cancel Subscription stops the plan from renewing at the end of your current term.
- Turn Off Auto-Renewal does the same job: it flips off the automatic charge so the plan lapses when the paid period ends.
As of mid-2026, the auto-renewal toggle lives under Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Game and App Services on a PS5, where you select the subscription and choose Turn Off Auto-Renewal. Either route means the same thing in practice: you will not be charged again, and you keep your benefits until the current term runs out.
What happens to your access
Canceling on PlayStation almost always means "cancel the next payment," not "end my access today." Your PS Plus perks, such as online multiplayer and your monthly games, stay active until the end of the billing cycle you already paid for. So there is no penalty for canceling early, and doing it as soon as you decide is the surest way not to forget.
One thing worth knowing about PS Plus specifically: the monthly games and cloud saves tied to your membership depend on the subscription staying active. When the term ends, you keep games you actually bought, but the rotating monthly titles and some benefits pause until you resubscribe. That is not a trick, just how a membership library works, and it is a good reason to cancel deliberately rather than in a hurry.
Refunds
As of mid-2026, PlayStation's subscription refund policy is fairly narrow. You may be eligible for a refund within a limited window after purchase or renewal, generally only if you have not used the subscription benefits during that period, and the request goes through PlayStation Support rather than a self-serve button. Because the window is short and use-dependent, the practical move is to cancel before a renewal rather than counting on getting the charge reversed afterward.
Reading a mystery charge
If you see a charge from PlayStation or Sony you cannot place, it is usually PS Plus renewing or an app subscription you added to your account. Your Subscription Management page lists everything currently billing to your account, so it is the reliable place to match a charge to the service behind it.
Decide on your schedule, not the renewal date's
PlayStation makes canceling and toggling auto-renew genuinely easy once you find the right menu, but it will not warn you the day before PS Plus renews. That reminder is the missing piece, and it is exactly what TryMyCompany provides. Track your trials and subscriptions here, and a reminder arrives before each renewal, so nothing surprises you and you decide whether to keep playing on your own terms.
