How to Cancel PlayStation Plus and Get a Refund

If you’re canceling your PlayStation Plus subscription due to the jacked-up prices, you might as well get a refund while you’re at it. Unfortunately, you can only request a refund if it’s been less than 15 days since you signed up.

The refunded amount can be prorated to show how much service has been used. As such, this adjustment may occur in your account history as two different entries:

  • A full refund of the initial payment.
  • A charge that’s subtracted for the length of time you have stayed.

You can explore the PS cancellation policy on the PS Store Legal Page.

How to Get a Refund

To initiate a refund, the easiest way is to contact their support directly by going to this page.

If you somehow don’t want to settle for easy mode, you can also request a refund by doing it the hard way and following these steps:

  1. Go to https://www.playstation.com/
  2. Click ‘Support
  3. Click ‘Store
  4. Go to ‘Refunds
  5. Select ‘Requesting a PS Store Refund
  6. Toggle ‘Refund for subscriptions’
  7. Click ‘Request Refund’
  8. Click on ‘Contact Playstation Support

Can You Still Play Free-to-Play Online Games if You Cancel PS Plus?

Yes, you can still play free-to-play online games like Fortnite, Rocket League, and Overwatch, even if you cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription. You do lose access to most paid online games (except for Final Fantasy XIV for some reason). And, of course, you’ll need to say goodbye to your claimed Monthly Games.

Summary

Canceling your PlayStation Plus subscription can be done easily through multiple methods, including via the PlayStation Store website, your PS5 or PS4 console, or the PlayStation app. To cancel it through their website, just log in and go to ‘Subscription Management‘ and click ‘Cancel Subscription‘.

For those seeking a refund, you may be eligible if you cancel within 15 days of signing up. Refunds are prorated based on usage, and the process can be initiated through PlayStation support.
