If Microsoft increases the price, you have the right to end a renewed contract and claim a refund for the unused period under the CMA undertakings secured for Xbox subscriptions. Provide the price increase notice or billing statement as proof. Applicable law: Competition and Markets Authority undertakings and Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
For online subscriptions you have a 14-day cooling-off right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. If you asked Microsoft to start performance (streaming/download) within the 14 days and acknowledged losing cancellation rights, the right is waived. Provide the date you subscribed and any acknowledgment you gave as proof. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
When you reach the end of any fixed commitment, the subscription normally renews on an auto-renewing basis. Cancel before the renewal date via your Microsoft account to avoid the next payment. Provide your account subscription record as proof. Applicable law: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
To stop billing after the subscriber dies, send a copy of the death certificate and the subscription account email to [email protected] or the registered address. Microsoft will process termination requests on production of a death certificate. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 (service termination obligations).
If you move to a country where the service is unavailable, provide proof of address change and a request to cancel. Microsoft processes cancellations for accounts with a change of residence; send a utility bill or official documentation as proof.

The main rules are the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA 2024), the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) enforces subscription fairness for services such as Xbox Game Pass.
The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cooling-off right for online contracts with a full refund, unless the consumer agreed to immediate performance for digital content and acknowledged loss of cancellation rights. The DMCCA 2024 reinforces cooling-off and renewal protections. See the legislation: DMCCA 2024 - cooling-off rights and DMCCA 2024 - section 261.
If Microsoft does not resolve your complaint, contact Citizens Advice for next steps, and report issues to the CMA. For card payments you may consider chargeback or Section 75 with your card issuer if the charge qualifies. The CMA secured undertakings from Microsoft; read the CMA summary: CMA - changes to Xbox subscription practices.
After cancellation you keep access until the end of the current paid period. Games you downloaded remain on your device but may require an active subscription to launch if they are Game Pass licensed titles.
If you cancelled during a renewal and believe you are due a refund, contact support and keep receipts. Refunds for purchases through Apple or Google must be requested from those stores.
You can re-activate the subscription at any time via account.microsoft.com or the Xbox console. Your subscription history remains in your Microsoft account to support any refund claims.
