PlayStation Now is a cloud gaming subscription service by Sony that allows its members to stream PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 games on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Those with an active subscription get access to more than 800 classic PlayStation games.
PlayStation Now is slightly different from PlayStation Plus, another subscription service by Sony. PlayStation Plus offers less games but early access to new games, demos, and betas, plus discounts in the PlayStation store.
If you're looking to cancel your PlayStation Now subscription, it can be done in a variety of ways. Here's what you need to know.
How to cancel PlayStation Now
There are several ways to cancel a PlayStation Now subscription: on a web browser, on the PlayStation app, and on your console.
On a web browser:

What happens when you cancel your PS Now subscription
Similar to when you cancel a PlayStation Plus subscription, after you cancel your PlayStation Now subscription you'll still have access to PS Now games until the end date of your paid subscription. For example, if you've previously paid through to the end of the month and you've cancelled on the 15th, you should still have a few weeks of gameplay before your subscription officially ends and you lose all benefits.
Once your PS Now subscription ends (when PlayStation doesn't receive a payment when it's due), you'll lose access to all PS Now games unless you purchase them separately or reactivate your subscription.
