Cancel Ubisoft Plus: The Right Way

How to cancel Ubisoft Plus and reclaim your gaming budget

Why you might want to cancel Ubisoft Plus

Ubisoft Plus is a subscription service that offers you instant access to a vast library of games across franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, and Watch Dogs. You download and play titles through the Ubisoft Connect platform on PC, enjoying premium editions and day-one access to new releases. For players who rotate through multiple Ubisoft titles regularly, it's a genuinely attractive offering.

But your gaming habits change. You might realise you're no longer playing the service, you've finished the games that drew you in, or your budget has simply shifted priority. Whatever your reason, you have a legal right to cancel at any time under UK consumer law. The challenge isn't securing that right-it's cancelling before Ubisoft charges you for another month.

Tocancel exists to help you navigate exactly this situation. We guide thousands of UK subscribers through cancellation every month, and we recognise the common pitfalls that catch people off guard. The biggest trap is forgetting your renewal date and waking up to an unexpected charge you could have avoided.

Why your renewal date matters more than you think

Ubisoft Plus renews automatically on the same date every month. If you signed up on the 15th, you'll be charged on the 15th of every subsequent month unless you cancel before midnight on that date. Ubisoft does not offer refunds for partial months, which means cancelling on the 20th of your billing cycle won't recover money for the days you won't use. You will keep access until the end of your paid period, but you'll have lost the refund opportunity entirely.

This timing issue is why cancelling as soon as you know you won't renew-not the day before payment is due-is absolutely critical to protecting your money.

What happens to your games after you cancel

The moment your billing period ends, you lose access to every game in the Ubisoft Plus library. You won't be able to launch or play anything, even titles you've already downloaded. If you're mid-game, you'll need to finish your playthrough or plan to switch to another platform before your cancellation date arrives. Your save files are stored on Ubisoft servers, so if you ever resubscribe in future, your progress remains intact.

Subscription pricing and plan types in the UK

Understanding your current plan helps you cancel correctly and know exactly what you're losing access to.

Most UK subscribers use the Premium plan on PC, which charges £14.99 automatically every month unless you cancel. If you have Ubisoft Plus Classics bundled with PlayStation Plus, you'll manage your cancellation through your PlayStation account instead of directly with Ubisoft.

How to find your renewal date

Your billing anniversary is the exact date Ubisoft charges your payment method. You must cancel before midnight on that date to avoid the next charge. Log into your Ubisoft account on the official website and navigate to Account Settings, then Subscriptions. You'll see your renewal date listed clearly there. Write this date down or set a phone reminder two days before to give yourself a safety window.

If you've lost track of your renewal date, check your email for the most recent payment confirmation from Ubisoft. The subject line typically says "Your Ubisoft Plus subscription has been renewed" and includes the exact charge date. Finding this date is your first step towards a successful cancellation.

Free trials and promotional subscriptions

If you started with a free trial period, it automatically converts to a paid subscription once the trial ends. You'll receive an email notification before this conversion happens, but you must cancel before the conversion date arrives to avoid being charged. The same rule applies: cancellation must happen before midnight on the day your trial ends or your first payment will process.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is your legal protection when cancelling Ubisoft Plus. Under this law, you have the right to cancel a subscription service without providing a reason, provided you do so before your payment is processed.

Your legal position under UK consumer law

You are entitled to cancel your Ubisoft Plus subscription at any time. Ubisoft cannot force you to continue paying or refuse to process your cancellation request. If Ubisoft charges you after you've submitted a valid cancellation request, you have the right to request a refund. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) enforces consumer rights in the UK, and you can escalate to them if Ubisoft refuses to honour your cancellation.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 specifically protects you against automatic renewal traps. Companies must obtain your clear consent before charging you, and they must provide you with a simple way to cancel online. Ubisoft meets these standards by offering cancellation through your account dashboard, but it remains your responsibility to act before your renewal date.

What to do if Ubisoft refuses to cancel

In rare cases, a company may claim a cancellation request wasn't received or try to delay the process. If Ubisoft refuses to cancel your subscription or processes a charge after you've cancelled, contact Ubisoft support with evidence of your cancellation request. Take a screenshot of your account settings showing the cancellation, or save any email confirmation you receive.

If Ubisoft does not resolve the issue within 14 days, you can file a complaint with the Citizens Advice Consumer Service, which represents consumer interests in the UK. You can also request a chargeback from your bank or credit card provider if money was taken after you cancelled. Tocancel recommends gathering evidence of your cancellation before escalating, as this strengthens your position significantly.

How to cancel Ubisoft Plus step by step

Cancellation takes less than five minutes when you follow these straightforward steps from Tocancel's cancellation guides.

Cancelling via the Ubisoft website

1. Go to the official Ubisoft website and log into your account with your email and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot your password?" and follow the reset process via email.
2. Navigate to Account Settings by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner.
   • Look for a menu option that says "Account" or "Settings".
3. Select Subscriptions or Billing from the Account Settings menu.
   • You'll see your active Ubisoft Plus subscription listed with its renewal date.
4. Click on Ubisoft Plus and select the option to Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription.
   • Ubisoft may ask you why you're cancelling-this feedback is optional, but completing it can help improve the service.
5. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • You will receive an email confirmation immediately. Save this email as proof of cancellation.
6. Check your account settings to verify the subscription now shows as "Cancelled" or "Expires [date]".
   • You retain access to all games until midnight on your final billing date.

Cancelling through the website is the fastest and most reliable method Tocancel recommends to all UK subscribers.

Cancelling via the Ubisoft connect app

1. Open the Ubisoft Connect app on your PC and log in with your account credentials.
   • Ensure you're using the most recent version of the app.
2. Tap or click on your profile icon in the top left corner.
   • Select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
3. Navigate to Subscriptions or Billing settings within Account Settings.
   • You'll see your current subscription plan and renewal date displayed.
4. Select Ubisoft Plus and choose Cancel Subscription.
   • Confirm your cancellation when the system prompts you.
5. Look for a confirmation message on screen and check your email for a cancellation receipt.
   • Keep this receipt-it's your proof of cancellation.

The app method works identically to the website method and takes the same amount of time.

Cancelling through PlayStation Plus

If you have Ubisoft Plus Classics as part of PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, you must cancel through your PlayStation account, not directly with Ubisoft.

1. Go to the PlayStation website or open the PlayStation app and log in.
   • Use the same account email you registered PlayStation Plus with.
2. Navigate to Account Settings, then Subscriptions.
   • You'll see all your active PlayStation Plus tiers and add-ons listed.
3. Find your PlayStation Plus plan and select Manage Subscription.
   • If Ubisoft Plus Classics is bundled, cancelling your PlayStation Plus tier will end access to it.
4. Choose the option to downgrade or cancel your subscription tier.
   • PlayStation will explain what benefits you'll lose.
5. Confirm the cancellation and save the email receipt you receive.
   • Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period.

Note: Cancelling PlayStation Plus entirely will also remove access to Ubisoft Plus Classics, but if you're cancelling Classics specifically, contact PlayStation Support to explore other options.

What happens after you cancel

Once you submit your cancellation, several things occur automatically on your account and across Ubisoft's systems.

Your access timeline after cancellation

You retain full access to every game in the Ubisoft Plus library until midnight on your final billing date. Your save files, achievements, and account progress remain stored on Ubisoft servers. If you decide to resubscribe later-whether days, months, or years from now-you'll log back in and find everything exactly as you left it. This means you can cancel without fear of losing your gaming progress permanently.

After midnight on your final date, you can no longer launch any Ubisoft Plus game. If you try to open a title, Ubisoft Connect will prompt you to resubscribe or purchase the game outright. Your downloaded game files remain on your PC, but they're locked until you renew your subscription.

Email confirmations and your cancellation record

Ubisoft sends an immediate email confirmation when you cancel. This email contains a cancellation reference number, your final access date, and a summary of what you're losing. Save this email in a folder labelled "Subscriptions" or "Cancelled Services" on your computer. If any dispute arises later, this email is your proof that you cancelled on time.

Your account settings also display a cancellation status. Log in to your Ubisoft account anytime to verify the subscription shows as cancelled or expired. Taking a screenshot of this status adds another layer of protection.

Your payment method remains on file

Cancelling your subscription does not remove your payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal) from your Ubisoft account. You can delete your payment details manually if you wish. Log into Account Settings, go to Billing, and select the option to remove or delete your stored payment method. Removing it ensures Ubisoft cannot accidentally re-charge you if a system error occurs.

Refunds and what you're entitled to

Ubisoft's refund policy for Ubisoft Plus subscriptions is strict but defined by UK consumer law.

Partial month refunds

Ubisoft does not refund charges for the subscription month you're currently in. If you cancel on the 20th of your billing cycle, Ubisoft will not refund the 10 days you won't use. This is their standard policy and aligns with how most subscription services operate in the UK. You must plan your cancellation to occur before your renewal date if you want to avoid paying for a month you won't use.

However, if Ubisoft charges you after you've successfully cancelled, you have a legal right to request that charge reversed. Contact Ubisoft support with proof of your cancellation, and they should refund the erroneous charge within 5 to 10 working days.

Refunds for technical issues or service failures

If Ubisoft Plus becomes unusable due to a widespread technical failure, or if Ubisoft removes a significant portion of the game library without notice, you may be entitled to a refund under consumer protection laws. In such cases, contact Ubisoft support to report the issue and request a refund. If Ubisoft refuses, escalate the complaint to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service.

Tocancel recommends documenting any service failures with screenshots or video evidence before requesting a refund, as this strengthens your claim significantly.

Chargeback protection

If Ubisoft charges you after you've cancelled and refuses to refund the charge, you can request a chargeback from your bank or credit card provider. A chargeback is a formal dispute process where your bank investigates the charge on your behalf and reverses it if they agree it was unauthorised. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email and any screenshots showing you cancelled before the charge date. Your bank typically resolves chargebacks within 30 days.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Cancellation seems straightforward, but small oversights can trap you into unwanted charges. Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers recover from preventable mistakes, and we want you to learn from them without experiencing them yourself.

Mistake 1: cancelling after your renewal date has passed

If you cancel on the 16th but your renewal date is the 15th, you've already been charged for another month. Ubisoft's system processes payment first, then checks your account status. You'll need to request a refund for this erroneous charge. Set a phone reminder for two days before your renewal date so you have a safety window to complete the cancellation.

Mistake 2: assuming you've cancelled because the website was slow to load

Sometimes the Ubisoft website takes time to process your cancellation request, especially during peak hours. Don't assume the cancellation went through if the confirmation page doesn't load immediately. Wait 30 seconds, then refresh the page or log out and log back in to check your subscription status. If the status still shows "Active," try cancelling again or contact Ubisoft support.

Mistake 3: ignoring the confirmation email

After you cancel, Ubisoft sends a confirmation email within minutes. Some subscribers delete this email without reading it or assume they don't need it. Keep this email forever. It contains your final access date and a reference number you'll need if you ever dispute a charge or contact Ubisoft support. Store it in a folder you won't delete accidentally.

Mistake 4: cancelling via a payment provider instead of the Ubisoft account

Some people try to cancel by removing their payment method from their bank or deleting their card details from Ubisoft. This doesn't cancel the subscription-it just fails the payment. Ubisoft will then try the payment again or send you a payment reminder. Always cancel through your Ubisoft account directly. Removing your payment method is a secondary step after you've cancelled the subscription itself.

Mistake 5: not checking the right account if you have multiple Ubisoft profiles

If you've created multiple Ubisoft accounts over the years, you might subscribe to Ubisoft Plus on one account and try to cancel on another. Check all your Ubisoft accounts to confirm which one holds the active subscription. Log in to each account, navigate to Subscriptions, and cancel the one that shows "Active."

Your cancellation checklist

Use this checklist from Tocancel to ensure every step of your cancellation is complete and verified.

Completing this checklist means you've done everything within your control to prevent unwanted charges and have documentation to support your cancellation if needed.

Keep vs. cancel: is Ubisoft Plus right for you

Before you cancel, consider whether Ubisoft Plus genuinely doesn't fit your gaming habits or budget anymore.

If you identify more reasons to cancel than to keep, proceeding with cancellation is the financially sensible choice. If you're cancelling because of price, remember you can always resubscribe later if your circumstances change.
