How to Cancel an Xbox Game Pass Subscription
Before you do anything, you’re going to need to head to your region’s Xbox.com landing page and log in.
Next, click the “Subscriptions & services” link on the top of the page. From there, it’s really simple: you’ll land on a page with all of your active subscriptions. Press “Manage” on your Xbox Game Pass subscription (it should be the first link to the right of it) and then press Cancel. Follow the instructions and, hey presto, your subscription will now no longer renew on the date listed, but you’ll still have access to it up until that date.

Can I Get an Refund if I Cancel an Xbox Game Pass Subscription Early?
