General Information
PlayStation Notice Period & Conditions
PlayStation subscriptions operate on an auto-renewal basis, meaning that unless you cancel before the renewal date, you will be automatically charged for the next billing cycle. The cancellation must be completed at least 24 hours before the renewal date to prevent being charged again.
Once canceled, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period. PlayStation does not typically offer prorated refunds, meaning you will not receive a refund for any unused days in your current cycle.
If you subscribed through a third-party provider such as PayPal, Apple, or Google Play, you may need to cancel directly through that provider’s billing system instead of PlayStation’s platform.
What Information Does PlayStation Need?
To successfully cancel your PlayStation subscription, you may need to provide the following details:
- PlayStation Network (PSN) ID: The username associated with your PlayStation account.
- Email Address: The email linked to your PSN account.
- Subscription Type: Whether you are subscribed to PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, or another PlayStation service.
- Payment Method Details: Last four digits of the card or payment method used for the subscription.
- Transaction History: If disputing charges, a record of past payments may be required.
- Reason for Cancellation: While optional, PlayStation may ask for feedback on why you are canceling.
Providing accurate information ensures a smooth cancellation process.
