Checking Your Subscription Status
Before you can turn off auto-renewal for your Xbox One subscription, you need to check the current status of your subscription. This will ensure that you have a clear understanding of which subscriptions are active and which ones are set to automatically renew.
To begin, power on your Xbox One console and sign in to your account. Once you are signed in, follow these steps to check your subscription status:
- Navigate to the home screen by pressing the Xbox button on your controller.
- Scroll to the right and select the “Settings” option represented by a gear icon.
- In the settings menu, choose the “Account” tab on the left-hand side.
- Select the “Subscriptions” option to view a list of your current subscriptions.
On the Subscriptions page, you will see a summary of your active subscriptions, including their renewal dates and payment details, such as the credit card or PayPal account linked to each subscription. Take a moment to review this information and identify the subscription for which you want to turn off auto-renewal.
It’s worth noting that some subscriptions may not be managed directly through the Xbox One console. In such cases, you may need to visit the official website or contact the service provider to adjust the auto-renewal settings. However, most popular subscriptions, such as Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Live Gold, can be managed directly through your console.
Now that you know how to check your subscription status, let’s move on to the next step: accessing your account settings to turn off auto-renewal.
Accessing Account Settings
To turn off auto-renewal for your Xbox One subscription, you will need to access your account settings. By doing so, you can navigate to the necessary options and make changes to your subscription preferences. Follow these steps to access your account settings:

- In the guide, select the “Profile & system” tab represented by a person icon.
- Under “Profile & system”, choose the “Settings” option.
- Within the settings menu, select the “Account” section.
- Here, you will find various account-related options. Scroll down and choose the “Subscriptions” option.
Once you select “Subscriptions,” you will be directed to a page that displays all your active subscriptions. This is where you can access the auto-renewal settings for each subscription and adjust them according to your preferences.
It’s worth emphasizing that the steps to access account settings may slightly vary depending on the Xbox One console version and software update. However, most consoles have a similar menu layout, making it relatively easy to locate account settings.
Now that you have accessed your account settings, let’s move on to the next step: navigating to the Services & subscriptions section to locate the subscription you want to turn off auto-renewal for.
Navigating to the Services & subscriptions Section
After accessing your account settings on your Xbox One console, the next step is to navigate to the Services & subscriptions section. This is where you can find a comprehensive list of your subscriptions and make changes to their auto-renewal settings. Follow these steps to reach the Services & subscriptions section:
- From the account settings menu, scroll down until you find the “Services & subscriptions” option and select it.
Upon selecting the Services & subscriptions option, you will be presented with a list of all the subscriptions associated with your Xbox One account. This can include subscriptions for services like Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold, or other third-party applications or services.
The Services & subscriptions section provides a convenient overview of each subscription, displaying important details such as the subscription name, renewal date, and price. Take a moment to review this information to ensure that you are on the correct page and to familiarize yourself with the subscriptions listed.
If you do not see the subscription you want to turn off auto-renewal for, it is possible that it may be managed directly through the service provider’s website rather than through the Xbox One console. In such cases, you may be directed to visit the official website or contact customer support for further assistance.
Now that you have successfully reached the Services & subscriptions section, let’s move on to the next step: locating the specific subscription for which you want to turn off auto-renewal.
Locating the Subscription You Want to Turn off Auto-Renewal For
Within the Services & subscriptions section on your Xbox One console, you can easily locate the specific subscription for which you want to turn off auto-renewal. This step is crucial to ensure that you are modifying the correct subscription and preventing any unexpected charges. Follow these steps to locate the subscription:
- Review the list of subscriptions displayed on the Services & subscriptions page. Take note of the names, renewal dates, and prices of each subscription to help you identify the one you wish to modify.
- If you have a long list of subscriptions, you can use the search function provided to quickly find the subscription you’re looking for. Usually represented by a magnifying glass icon, the search function allows you to enter keywords or the name of the subscription to filter the results.
- Alternatively, you can browse through the list manually by scrolling up or down to locate the desired subscription.
Once you have located the right subscription, take a moment to double-check its details. Make sure the name and renewal date match with your expectations. This verification step helps to avoid any potential confusion and ensures that you are turning off auto-renewal for the correct subscription.
If you are unable to locate the subscription you want to modify, it is possible that it may be managed through a different method or platform. In such cases, you may need to consult the official website of the service provider or reach out to their customer support for further guidance.
With the subscription now identified, let’s move on to the next step: turning off auto-renewal for the selected subscription.
Turning off Auto-Renewal for Your Subscription
Once you have located the subscription you wish to modify in the Services & subscriptions section on your Xbox One console, the next step is to turn off auto-renewal for that specific subscription. Follow these steps to disable auto-renewal:
- Select the subscription you want to modify by highlighting it and pressing the A button on your controller.
- On the subscription details page, you will find an “Auto Renewal” or “Manage” option. Select it.
- On the following page, you will be presented with several options related to your subscription. Look for the option that allows you to turn off auto-renewal.
- Depending on the subscription, the specific wording and location of the auto-renewal toggle may vary. It may be labeled as “Turn off auto-renewal,” “Disable auto-renewal,” or something similar. Select this option to disable auto-renewal for the subscription.
After turning off auto-renewal, you may receive a notification or confirmation message indicating that the changes have been saved. This ensures that you have successfully disabled the automatic renewal for your chosen subscription.
It is crucial to note that turning off auto-renewal does not immediately cancel the subscription. You will still have access to the subscription and its benefits until the current billing period ends. However, you will not be charged for any future renewals, and the subscription will no longer renew automatically.
If you change your mind in the future and wish to enable auto-renewal again or cancel the subscription entirely, you can revisit the Services & subscriptions section and modify the settings accordingly.
Now that you have successfully turned off auto-renewal for your selected subscription, let’s move on to the next step: confirming the changes made to your subscription.
Confirming the Changes Made to Your Subscription
After turning off auto-renewal for your selected subscription on your Xbox One console, it is crucial to confirm the changes to ensure that they have been successfully applied. This confirmation step gives you peace of mind and ensures that you will not be charged for any future renewals of the subscription. Follow these steps to confirm the changes made:
- Once you have disabled auto-renewal for your subscription, navigate back to the Services & subscriptions section.
- Locate the subscription you modified and select it again to access the subscription details page.
- On the subscription details page, check for any indicators that show that auto-renewal has been turned off. This may include a message confirming the change, or a badge indicating that auto-renewal is disabled.
- Additionally, you can double-check the subscription’s status to ensure that it reflects the changes made. The status should indicate that the subscription will not renew automatically.
By confirming the changes made to your subscription, you can have peace of mind knowing that your auto-renewal settings have been updated as desired. This step helps prevent any unexpected charges and allows you to have full control over your subscriptions on the Xbox One console.
If you encounter any issues or have any concerns about the changes made, it is recommended to reach out to Xbox support or the specific service provider for further assistance. They will be able to provide additional guidance and ensure that the changes have been correctly applied to your account.
Now that you have successfully confirmed the changes made to your subscription, let’s move on to the final step: verifying the auto-renewal status of your subscription.
