Cancel Your RuneScape Membership

Follow these steps to cancel your RuneScape membership directly through Jagex. This works for most players who subscribed through the website.

01

Log in to your account

Go to the RuneScape website and log in to your account using your credentials. Make sure you're logged into the correct account if you have multiple.

02

Navigate to Account Management

Click on Account in the top menu, then select Account Management from the dropdown. This will take you to your account settings page.

03

Go to Subscription settings

Look for the Subscription or Billing section in your account management. Click on Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription.

04

Confirm cancellation

RuneScape may ask why you're cancelling and offer alternatives like pausing your membership. Click Confirm Cancellation to proceed with ending your subscription.

05

Verify cancellation confirmation

You should see an on-screen confirmation that your RuneScape membership has been cancelled. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Jagex as well.

RuneScape-specific things to know

RuneScape memberships work differently depending on your plan and signup method. These tips cover common situations.

Access continues until period ends
Your membership benefits continue until your current billing period expires, even after cancelling. You won't lose access immediately.
Both games use same membership
RuneScape membership covers both RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape. Cancelling affects access to both versions.
Mobile subscriptions work differently
If you subscribed through the mobile app, you'll need to cancel through your device's app store settings instead of the RuneScape website.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

Look at your bank statement to confirm whether you're being charged by Jagex directly or through Apple, Google, or another provider. This determines where you need to cancel.

2. Consider your payment frequency

If you pay annually, cancelling won't provide a refund for unused months. Monthly subscribers have more flexibility with timing their cancellation.

3. Note your membership expiry date

Your membership benefits continue until the end of your current billing period. Check when this expires so you know how long you have left to play.

Instead of cancelling

If cost is your main concern, RuneScape offers some alternatives that might work better than cancelling completely.

Switch to free-to-play

You can cancel your membership and continue playing RuneScape for free. Free players have access to a substantial amount of content, though with some limitations.

Free-to-play includes:

  • Core skills and quests

  • Main game areas

  • Basic gameplay features

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Annual memberships cost less per month than monthly subscriptions

Save up to 20% with 12-month membership

Other cancellation methods

Don't see a cancel option in your RuneScape account? Your subscription might be billed through one of these providers instead.

Apple App Store

iOS users who subscribed through the mobile app need to cancel through their Apple ID subscription settings.
