How to cancel GTA+ is the question thousands of GTA 6 pre-order buyers need to answer fast. The free month of GTA+ that comes with digital pre-orders is a great bonus — but it auto-renews at $9.99 per month the moment your 30 days are up. If you do not cancel before that deadline, you will be charged automatically with no warning. This guide gives you every cancellation method on every platform so you can enjoy the free month and walk away without an unexpected bill.
TL;DR — How to Cancel GTA+ Fast
- GTA+ auto-renews at $9.99/month after your free period ends — cancel manually to stop it

- Cancel on PS5 via Settings → Users and Accounts → Account → Payment and Subscriptions → Subscriptions
- Cancel on Xbox via Profile and System → Settings → Account → Subscriptions
- Cancel on PS App via PS Store → Options → Subscription Management
- Cancel on browser (both platforms) via your account’s Subscription Management page
- Cancelling does not give a refund for the current period — it just stops future charges
- You can resubscribe any time after cancelling
Why You Need to Cancel GTA+ After Your Free Month
The free GTA+ month that comes with your GTA 6 digital pre-order is not a standalone trial that simply expires. The subscription continues until cancelled, and once you redeem the free month it becomes an active recurring membership. When the 30 days run out, Rockstar charges your saved payment method at the regular monthly rate automatically.
There is no email reminder. There is no pop-up in the game. It just bills you. If you wanted the free month only to enjoy the GTA$500,000 boost and the Rockstar games library during your first weeks with GTA 6, the only way to avoid paying for a second month is to cancel manually before day 30.
The good news: cancelling your GTA+ subscription stops auto-renewal but you keep your current benefits until the end of your billing period. You are not losing anything mid-month. You get the full 30 days regardless of when you cancel.
If you have not claimed your free month yet, read our guide on how to claim your free GTA+ month with your GTA 6 pre-order first, then come back here when you are ready to cancel.
How to Cancel GTA+ on PS5 (Console)
This is the fastest way to cancel if you are already sitting in front of your PS5.
- From the PS5 home screen, go to Settings (the gear icon in the top right)
- Select Users and Accounts
- Choose Account
- Select Payment and Subscriptions
- Choose Subscriptions
- Find GTA+ in your list of active subscriptions and select it
- Select Cancel Subscription
- Confirm your choice when prompted
This will stop future payments of the subscription fee, but you will not receive a refund for payments already made. Your GTA+ benefits continue until the end of the current billing period.
Important note for PS5 users: GTA+ is an in-game membership, so it may not always appear under the standard Subscriptions tab on PS5 the same way PS Plus does. If you do not see it there, use the PlayStation website or PS App method below — both are confirmed to work.
How to Cancel GTA+ on Xbox (Console)
On Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, the cancellation process goes through your account settings.
- Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide
- Go to Profile and System
- Select Settings
- Choose Account
- Select Subscriptions
- Find GTA+ and select it
- Choose Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Recurring Billing
- Confirm to complete cancellation
Your GTA+ membership stays active until the end of the billing month. You will not be charged again after that.
How to Cancel GTA+ via the PlayStation Website (Browser)
This is the easiest method if you are on your phone or computer and do not want to navigate console menus.
- Go to playstation.com and sign in to your PlayStation Network account
- Navigate to Subscriptions Management (found under your account settings)
- Find GTA+ in your list of active subscriptions
- Select Cancel underneath it
- If you change your mind, select Reactivate Subscription to keep it active
You can cancel PlayStation Plus, GTA+, EA Play, Ubisoft+ Classics, and other subscriptions via the web. Once you cancel, the subscription is deactivated starting from the next payment date.
How to Cancel GTA+ via the Xbox Website (Browser)
Xbox also lets you manage subscriptions from a browser, which is handy if you are on mobile.
- Go to account.microsoft.com and sign in to your Microsoft account
- Select Services and Subscriptions
- Find GTA+ and click Manage
- Select Cancel Subscription
- Follow the confirmation steps to complete it
After cancelling your GTA+ subscription on Xbox, you will not be billed anymore, though you will then miss out on the monthly GTA+ rewards once the current period ends.
How to Cancel GTA+ via the PlayStation App (Mobile)
If you have the PlayStation App on your phone, you can cancel without touching your console at all.
- Open the PlayStation App on your iOS or Android device
- Sign in to your PlayStation Network account
- Go to PS Store
- Tap Options
- Select Subscription Management
- Find GTA+ and tap Subscription Settings
- Select Cancel
The PlayStation App on mobile mirrors the web browser experience and offers a convenient way to manage your subscriptions on the go.
What Happens After You Cancel GTA+?
Cancelling does not cut you off immediately. Here is exactly what happens:
- Your GTA+ benefits continue until the last day of your current billing period
- You will not be charged again after that date
- No refund is issued for the current month — the period you are already in is paid and runs to completion
- Monthly GTA$500,000, vehicle perks, and games library access all stop at the end of the billing period
- Any items, vehicles, or cash you earned during your GTA+ period remain in your account
- You can resubscribe at any time if you change your mind
Can You Get a Refund on GTA+?
Monthly GTA+ plans typically do not refund the current month but stop future billing after cancellation. So if you forget to cancel and get charged for a second month, you would need to contact PlayStation or Xbox support directly to request a refund, and there is no guarantee it will be approved.
The safest move is to set a reminder on your phone for day 28 of your free month — giving yourself two days of buffer before the billing date hits.
When Is the Best Time to Cancel GTA+?
You do not need to cancel the moment you redeem your free month. You can cancel on day one of your free trial and your benefits will still run for the full 30 days. Cancelling early just removes the auto-renewal — it does not shorten your free period at all.
So the smartest approach is simple: redeem your free month around the GTA 6 launch on November 19, 2026, then cancel GTA+ immediately after claiming it. You get all 30 days of benefits. You never risk being charged. And if you decide you love GTA Online enough to keep the subscription, you can always resubscribe.
GTA+ Cancellation FAQs
Does cancelling GTA+ end my benefits immediately?
No. You keep your current benefits until the end of your billing period after cancelling. Nothing cuts off mid-month.
Will I get a refund if I cancel GTA+?
No. Cancellation stops future billing but does not refund the current month already charged.
Can I resubscribe to GTA+ after cancelling?
Yes. You can resubscribe at any time from the same store pages you used to cancel.
Does cancelling GTA+ affect my GTA 6 game or save data?
No. Cancelling GTA+ only ends the subscription perks. Your GTA 6 game, your story progress, and any GTA Online progress are completely unaffected.
What if I cannot see GTA+ in my PS5 Subscriptions list?
Use the PlayStation website or the PlayStation App instead. GTA+ is an in-game membership that may not always appear in the standard PS5 Subscriptions tab the same way PS Plus does. The browser and app methods always work.
Does the free GTA+ month from GTA 6 pre-order auto-renew?
Yes. The subscription continues until cancelled. Once you redeem the free month, it becomes a live recurring subscription at $9.99/month unless you cancel manually.
Can I cancel GTA+ on PC?
GTA+ is a console-only subscription for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It is not available for PC players of GTA Online, so there is nothing to cancel on PC.
The GTA+ free month is a solid bonus with your GTA 6 digital pre-order. The GTA$500,000, the Rockstar games library, and the vehicle perks are all genuinely useful. But the auto-renewal is real and it catches people off guard every time a game bundles a free trial. Cancel as soon as you redeem, enjoy your full 30 days, and you will never see an unexpected $9.99 charge on your account.
