PlayStation Plus is a paid subscription service that offers subscribers free games to download every month, PlayStation Store discounts, access to online multiplayer gaming, cloud storage, and more.
By default, your PlayStation Plus subscription will automatically renew, but it can be cancelled just like any other subscription service. If you find that you're not taking advantage of the features enough to justify paying between $5 to $10 per month (depending on which payment plan you choose), you can cancel your subscription online or on your PlayStation.
How to cancel PlayStation Plus
You can cancel PlayStation Plus on a web browser or on your PlayStation device.
On a web browser:
1. Sign in to your Sony account. Go to the Account Management page.

What happens when you cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription
When you cancel PlayStation Plus, you will have access to all PlayStation Plus subscription benefits until the end date of your paid subscription. Once that date passes, you will lose access to all benefits, including monthly games, online storage, and online multiplayer capabilities.
When your PlayStation Plus subscription ends, you will no longer have access to free content that you downloaded as part of PlayStation Plus. If you choose to reactivate an expired PlayStation Plus subscription, you will regain access to this content. PlayStation Plus discounted purchases and any PlayStation Plus packs and avatars you've redeemed will still be available to you even after your subscription ends.
