Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
A first subscription payment may be eligible for a refund request within 14 days of signup, reduced for use. A free trial counts toward the window. Recurring subscription fees are not eligible.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
A lower PlayStation Plus tier can be selected and takes effect when the current prepaid period ends.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
PlayStation's checked subscription help does not document a pause option.
What happens to my account data?
Cancellation preserves access until term end. Monthly games, cloud storage and multiplayer benefits then stop, while redeemed packs, avatars and purchased discounts remain. Closing the PlayStation account is separate and permanently deletes account data and content.
