Cancelling Apple Arcade is straightforward since it's managed directly through your Apple ID account. This guide covers cancellation through iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and what happens to your games after cancelling.
Apple Arcade is only available through Apple's ecosystem and can only be cancelled through your Apple ID account settings. The process is identical whether you use iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV — you'll find it under Subscriptions in your Apple ID settings.
These steps work on any Apple device. The exact menu names may vary slightly between iOS versions, but the path is the same.
On iPhone or iPad, tap the Settings app. On Mac, open the App Store and click your profile. On Apple TV, go to Settings.
Look for your name at the top of Settings (iOS) or your Apple ID profile in the App Store (Mac). This takes you to your Apple ID account page.
Tap Subscriptions to see all your active Apple subscriptions. Apple Arcade should appear in the list with your billing details.
Select Apple Arcade from your subscription list. This opens the subscription management page with cancellation options.
Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom. Confirm when prompted. You'll see a confirmation that Apple Arcade will end on your next billing date.
A few details that might affect your Apple Arcade cancellation timing or game access.
These points can help you avoid issues with your Apple Arcade cancellation.
Apple Arcade might be bundled in your Apple One subscription. If so, you'll need to downgrade or cancel Apple One instead of cancelling Arcade separately.
Your save data stays in iCloud even after cancelling. If you resubscribe later, you can pick up where you left off in supported games.
You can keep playing Apple Arcade games until your current billing period ends, even after cancelling. Check your subscription page for the exact end date.
If you're cancelling due to cost or limited use, these options might work better than cancelling completely.
Apple Arcade can only be cancelled through your Apple ID account, but you can access this from different devices if needed.
You can cancel Apple Arcade through the Apple ID website if you don't have access to an Apple device.
