How to cancel an Apple Arcade subscription

Gaming is one of the most versatile hobbies in the world. With mobile devices advancing in hardware and software every year, the quality of games available on mobile platforms increased simultaneously. Mobile devices are the main gaming hub for many players, and the number of quality games out there makes it hard to pick a favorite.

Considering most mobile games depend on microtransactions, players end up spending a part of their disposable income to enjoy their favorite game even more. In some cases, this prevents players from trying out different games since their time and money investment can make it harder to switch games.

That’s where Apple Arcade, a subscription system that features over 200 games, comes into play. Apple Arcade removes the ads and the in-app purchases from these games, allowing players to only worry about their gameplay experience.

Many Apple users may already have a free one-month trial to Apple Arcade, meaning they won’t start paying anything until the second month. If you tried out Apple Arcade and didn’t enjoy your time as a subscriber or decide not to renew your subscription for other reasons, you’ll need to manually cancel it to ensure it doesn’t renew itself for $4.99.
