Xbox Game Pass-specific things to know

Important details when cancelling Game Pass.

Games become unplayable
Game Pass games you've downloaded will become unplayable after cancellation. Games you purchased separately still work.
Save data is preserved
Your game saves sync to the cloud and remain there. If you resubscribe, your progress will still be available.
Xbox Live Gold perks vary by tier

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

Consider these factors before ending your Game Pass subscription.

1. Downloaded games won't work

Any Game Pass games you've downloaded will stop working after cancellation. Only games you purchased separately remain playable.

2. Online multiplayer may be affected

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes online multiplayer. If you cancel Ultimate, you'll need Game Pass Core for online play.

3. Save data stays in the cloud

Your game saves remain synced to your Microsoft account. Resubscribing later gives you access to your saved progress.

Alternatives to cancelling your subscription

If you want to keep some Game Pass benefits at a lower cost, consider switching tiers.

Switch to a different Game Pass tier

Xbox Game Pass has multiple tiers. You might find one that better fits your usage and budget.

  • Core — $9.99/month (online multiplayer, limited game selection)

  • Standard — $14.99/month (console games library)

  • PC Game Pass — $11.99/month (PC games only)
