Unable to cancel Xbox Game Pass subscription from console

Hello ! I'm Aymeric, an independent advisor, and I'm here to help !

Do you have the option to renew or turn on recurring billing for your subscription ? If you're seeing these two options, it means that you've already canceled your subscription and/or is about to expire.

You won't be billed after the expiration date, and your subscription will stop by itself.

If you want to check that your subscription is correctly cancelled, you can head to https://account.microsoft.com/services with your PC and see if your Game Pass subscription is set to end soon.

Just make sure you use the same Microsoft account on your PC as the one you use on your Xbox.

Please let me know if you have any other question !

Hello dannyheaton,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you canceled Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and now your son is unable to use Xbox Live Gold.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is three different subscriptions in one. It includes Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC. If you cancel Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you lose access to all three of these subscriptions. That is why your son is unable
to use Xbox Live Gold features.

Generally, users will upgrade their Xbox Live Gold subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This will convert your Xbox Live Gold time to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time. If you cancel Xbox Game Pass Ultimate after upgrading, you must

purchase an Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to continue using online features for your console. We hope this information helps

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to the Xbox support forums! I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this account and billing issue may be causing you. To submit a cancellation, it can be done on console, within the Xbox PC app, or you can visit the cancelation menu directly online. I will provide the links below that can assist.

I understand how confusion the multiple options of subscriptions can also be. With that being said, I wanted to drop one more link for you that explains the differences through the multiple subscriptions available. If you're playing on PC, it's possible that an Xbox Game Pass subscription on console was purchased or a standard Xbox Live Gold subscription. To access the library of Game Pass games on PC, Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass for PC are available.

Hi, Miranda! Thank you for reaching out.
I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

Whenever you upgrade subscriptions, you are charged for the first full month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is added to the converted time from your previous subscription. Paying for the price difference between subscriptions is not possible.

• For example, if you had 90 days remaining of Xbox Game Pass for Console and converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you'd have 68 days from your converted subscription + the first month you paid to upgrade.

While your subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (the second charge) can be canceled, and depending on availability, even refunded, there is no way to revert the conversion from other subscription plans to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Please note that canceling Xbox Game Pass Ultimate would also mean canceling the converted time from your previous subscription, which I'm afraid can't be refunded.

------

• For your reference, the following is mentioned in the "All about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate" FAQ page:

"Note - The upgrade of any prepaid time can’t be reverted to Xbox Game Pass plans or EA Play, and it’s not eligible for refund."

------

If you'd still like to cancel Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, sign in at [ https://account.microsoft.com/services ], locate your subscription, and select Manage > Cancel Subscription.

If you’re eligible for a refund, you’ll see an option to cancel immediately with a refund.

• Doing this would cancel both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the converted time from your previous subscription.

• Any refund issued would only be for the month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate you paid to do the upgrade.

Please let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.
Best regards.

You can put there Xbox Game Pass for PC, or Xbox Game Pass for Console, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The type of subscription you canceled.
