How to Cancel Your EA Play Subscription (2025)

What is EA Play — and why cancel it?

EA Play is a gaming subscription from Electronic Arts that gives you access to a library of EA titles, early trials of new releases, and discounts on digital purchases. It works across platforms like PC (via EA App or Steam), Xbox, and PlayStation. Sounds great in theory — but maybe you’ve already played what you wanted, or realized you’re not actually using it enough to justify the cost.

For example, maybe you signed up to try FIFA 25 early or replay some Mass Effect, but now it’s just sitting there. Or maybe you’re juggling too many gaming subscriptions (Game Pass, Ubisoft+, PS Plus) and something’s gotta go.

EA Play costs $5.99 CAD/month or $39.99 CAD/year, depending on your plan. That’s money you could be putting toward other games — or snacks, we’re not judging.

This guide will walk you through canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android, so you can get it done without any extra drama.

How to Cancel EA Play Subscription on Desktop

The cancellation steps depend a bit on where you originally subscribed (EA App vs. Steam), but if you signed up directly through EA, here’s the easiest way to cancel on desktop:

1. Go to ea.com and log in

2. Click your profile icon (top right) and go to “Account Settings”

3. In the left menu, select “Billing”

4. Find your EA Play subscription under “Subscriptions”

5. Click “Cancel Subscription” and confirm

💬 “I had to dig through the tabs a bit — ‘Billing’ wasn’t immediately obvious. But once I found it, canceling was quick.”

If you subscribed via Steam, you’ll need to cancel through your Steam account (more on that in a second).

How to Cancel EA Play Subscription on iOS

If you subscribed to EA Play through the EA app on your iPhone or iPad and paid via Apple, here’s how to cancel:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone

2. Tap your Apple ID banner at the top

3. Select “Subscriptions”

4. Look for “EA Play” in the list

5. Tap it and then hit “Cancel Subscription”
   

✅ Note: If EA Play doesn’t appear here, you probably subscribed via the EA App or another platform. Use desktop instructions instead.

How to Cancel EA Play Subscription on Android

Used Google Play to sign up? You’ll need to cancel through the Play Store. Here’s how:

1. Open the Google Play Store

2. Tap your profile icon (top right)

3. Go to “Payments & Subscriptions”

4. Tap “Subscriptions”

5. Find “EA Play” and tap “Cancel Subscription”

📱 “It took a second to figure out which email I’d used for the Play Store, so double-check you’re signed into the right Google account if you don’t see it at first.”

Canceling Through Steam or Console? (Bonus Tip)

If you signed up for EA Play via Steam, go to:

1. Open Steam

2. Click your username > Account details

3. Under “Store & Purchase History,” select Manage Subscriptions

4. Find EA Play and cancel it

For Xbox or PlayStation, you’ll need to cancel through your console’s subscription settings — it won’t work through EA’s site directly.

Final Thoughts

Canceling EA Play is easy once you know where to go — but where you go depends on how you signed up. Whether you're switching to a different service or just taking a break from games, it’s a quick process and you won’t lose your saved data.

And just FYI: your EA account will stay active even after canceling, so if you decide to come back later, your game history and progress will still be there.

Happy gaming — or unsubscribing!
