EA Play Cancelation FAQ
Below are a few questions that people often ask about how to cancel EA Play.
Can I cancel EA Play before my membership expires?
Yes. You can cancel your EA Play subscription at any time during the billing period. However, except in very specific circumstances, you will not receive a refund when you cancel your EA Play subscription.
Instead of a refund, you will still have full access to the features for your membership level, until the end of the last billing period that you paid for.
In other words, if you renew your EA Play subscription monthly, you can cancel at any time. You will continue to have access for the remainder of the 30-day period that you last paid for.
The same is true if you chose to renew your membership on an annual basis. You will still have access for the months that remain of the 12 months you paid for.
In both cases, you will not receive a refund when you cancel. If you want to try to get a refund, you can contact EA Play support directly to find out if you are eligible for a cancellation refund.
What is the price of EA Play?
There are two subscription levels for EA Play: EA Play and EA Play Pro. EA Play Pro costs slightly more, but also offers access to more features. Among other things, the Pro membership allows access to new release games for several days before their official launch.
The list below outlines the two EA Play memberships and how much they cost:
- EA Play – $4.99/month or $29.99/year
- EA Play Pro – $14.99/monthly or $99.99/year
You can use a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account to pay your subscription fee for EA Play. By default, your subscription will auto-renew at the end of every billing period (month or year) unless you cancel it.
