Cancellation guide
How to cancel Apple Arcade
A clear, step-by-step guide to cancelling your Apple Arcade Gaming, plus the things worth checking before you leave.
Before you cancel
- There's no fixed contract, so you can cancel anytime. Your access simply runs to the end of the period you've paid for.
- Expect to be offered a retention discount or loyalty deal to make you stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, stand your ground.
- Cancel before your next renewal date to avoid being charged for another period.
- Cancel from the account you actually pay with, and make sure you're the billing owner before you start.
- Get a confirmation (on-screen or by email) and keep it as proof of the date you cancelled.
How to cancel Apple Arcade, step by step
- On iPhone/iPad: open the Settings app, tap your name, then tap 'Subscriptions'.
- Tap 'Apple Arcade' (scroll to find it if you have several subscriptions).
- Tap 'Cancel Subscription' and confirm. If there is no Cancel button, the subscription is already cancelled.
- On Mac: open the App Store app, click your name in the bottom-left, click 'Account Settings', then next to Subscriptions click 'Manage', then 'Edit' beside Apple Arcade, then 'Cancel Subscription'.
- Note: once cancelled you lose access to all Arcade games at the end of the paid period, even games you downloaded.
