How to cancel Xbox Game Pass
To stop Xbox Game Pass renewing, sign in to your Microsoft subscriptions page, find your plan, and turn off recurring billing. You can also choose Cancel and review the end date and any refund option shown before confirming.
Stop the next Game Pass charge
- 1. Sign in to your Microsoft account’s Services & subscriptions page.
- 2. Find your Game Pass plan and select Manage.
- 3. Turn off recurring billing, or choose Cancel and review the effective date and any refund option before confirming.
If it already says “Turn on recurring billing,” renewal is off and the plan will expire on the date shown. Apple or Google Play billed it? Use that store’s subscription settings instead.

We prepare the notice
Submo composes a formal cancellation notice addressed to the provider's record, citing the account details you gave and requesting written confirmation.

We send it and tell you
The notice goes out on your behalf. You get a timestamped copy by email, so you have a paper trail if a charge shows up afterwards.

Why keep a written cancellation record
A written record, timestamped
You get a dated copy of exactly what was sent and when. If the provider bills you after that date, that copy is what your bank wants to see.
No call, no retention script
You never speak to anyone. A written notice skips the save offers, the hold music and the chat agent whose job is to talk you out of it.
A data-deletion request included
Every notice also asks the provider to delete personal data it no longer needs. The provider decides what it can delete and what it must retain.
Our fee back if we don't send it
If Submo fails to send your notice, we refund our fee in full. We can't promise what the provider will do — nobody can — only what we do.
Does an Xbox Game Pass cancellation notice actually do anything?
A written notice records your request and the date it was sent. Submo can send one to Microsoft on your behalf, but Microsoft controls the subscription and decides when it takes effect. Check your Microsoft account for the actual renewal status and expiry date.
Turning off recurring billing directly in Microsoft’s Services & subscriptions page is free and gives immediate on-screen confirmation. A notice can add a dated paper trail if you need one; it does not replace checking the provider's status.
Can I get a refund from Xbox Game Pass?
Xbox refund eligibility varies by location, payment method, and timing. A recent recurring charge may qualify when you cancel within 30 days of payment. Your Microsoft account shows any available refund before you confirm; a request in a written notice does not guarantee one.
If a charge continues after Microsoft confirms renewal is off, contact Microsoft or the store that billed you with the account status and transaction details. You can also ask your payment provider about a disputed charge if the biller does not resolve it.
The hands-on route
What cancelling Xbox Game Pass yourself involves
About 3 minutes — if you have your login, know who actually bills you, and don't get caught by a save offer on the way out. Steps verified September 2026. If you'd rather not deal with any of it, start the form and we'll send the notice for you.
Cancel it, step by step
Start with who takes the money. That decides everything else. Not sure which is yours? Check who the charge is from on your card statement or receipt: “APPLE.COM/BILL” means Apple, “GOOGLE *” means Google Play.

What happens after you cancel
When it takes effect
Turning off recurring billing lets the plan run to its displayed expiry date. The Cancel flow shows the effective date and any refund option before you confirm.
What you keep
You can play included Game Pass titles until your access ends, unless a title leaves the library first. Purchased games remain yours.
Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the purchase and location. Xbox says a recent recurring charge may be refundable if you cancel within 30 days; check the amount offered in your account before confirming. Do not assume unused time is prorated.
Free trials
Cancel or turn off recurring billing before the trial ends to avoid the first charge.
What trips people up
The steps are the easy part. These are the things that leave people still paying a month later.
Turn off renewal or review a cancellation
Turning off recurring billing keeps access until the expiry date. The Cancel flow can show a different effective date or a refund option. Read that screen before confirming.
Saves stay, games don’t
Your saved games and achievements are kept. The games themselves stop launching, and re-subscribing restores access without losing progress.
Already says Turn on recurring billing?
That means automatic renewal is already off. Check the expiry date instead of looking for another cancel button. Prepaid time generally runs to that date.
Frequently asked
Turn off recurring billing if your goal is to stop the next charge while keeping access through the displayed expiry date. Use Cancel to review the effective date and any refund option your account offers before deciding.
No. Saves and achievements stay on your account. The games stop launching until you resubscribe or buy them, and your progress is waiting when you do.
It depends. Xbox says a recent recurring billing charge can be refunded when you cancel within 30 days of payment. Other refunds depend on your plan, location, and purchase method; review the offer in your Microsoft account or contact the biller. An automatic prorated refund for unused time is not guaranteed.
You can manage recurring billing from an Xbox console, but account.microsoft.com/services works on any device and shows your plan, expiry date, and available cancellation options in one place.
You fill in one form with the name, address and email on the account. Submo composes a formal written cancellation notice from those details, addressed to the provider's record, and sends it on your behalf. You get a dated copy for your files. We never sign in to your account and never ask for your password.
The form takes about two minutes. Your notice is reviewed and dispatched by a person on our side — that review is deliberate, because a notice sent to the wrong entity is worse than no notice. Providers then process cancellations on their own timetable, commonly within a few business days.
No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. A cancellation notice exercises a right you already have under your agreement, and it creates a dated record that you exercised it. That record is what makes a bank dispute straightforward if billing continues. What the provider does next is the provider's decision.
Send your dated copy of the notice to your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge. A written notice with a date on it is exactly the evidence a chargeback needs, and it is the main practical reason to send one rather than clicking a button with no record.
$19.99 for one cancellation notice, charged once. Each additional provider on the same request is $9.99. For new members, checkout also starts a 3-day free Submo trial; unless cancelled before it ends, membership renews at $19.99/month. If we fail to send your notice, we refund the notice fee in full.
No. That is the point of a written notice — it works when you've lost the password, lost access to the email, inherited Xbox Game Pass from someone else, or simply can't find the cancel button. We identify the account from the name, address and email you give us.
We collect only what the notice needs: your name, postal address and the email on the account. Card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers. We don't sell data.
Yes, up to 5 on a single request. Add them with "Add another" on the form and each provider gets its own notice.
