Common Issues With Canceling Xbox Game Pass

I Can’t See any Subscriptions, but I’m Still Being Charged

This is quite a common issue and it’s usually caused by being logged into the wrong Microsoft account, for example, if you have more than one account or share your console or PC with others. Make sure you’re signed into the account you purchased your Game Pass subscription with and then check your purchase history.

How to Check Your Purchase History

You can check your purchase history on your console or the web to find your Game Pass subscription and any other purchases you’ve made, such as games.

Checking Your Purchase History on Console

1. Press the Xbox button.
2. Go to Profile & System > Settings > Account.
3. Select Payment & Billing.
4. Select Order History and you should see your Game Pass subscription listed.

Checking Your Purchase History on the Web

1. Navigate to account.microsoft.com on your PC or mobile device.
2. Sign in to the Microsoft account you purchased your subscription with.
3. Select Payment & Billing > Order History.

If you can’t see your Game Pass subscription in your order history, or if you spot any transactions you don’t recognize, you may need to contact your banking institution.

I Can’t See the Option to Cancel Xbox Game Pass Subscription

If you log into your Microsoft account and can’t see any options to cancel, but only the option to renew/enable recurring billing, your subscription is a one-time payment. This means you can enjoy Game Pass benefits until the end of the current billing period, and you won’t be charged again. Alternatively, you can follow the steps above to cancel your subscription on your console or your PC.
