Canceling Through Your Microsoft Account
The most straightforward way to cancel your Minecraft Realm subscription is through your Microsoft account. Log into your Microsoft account online and navigate to the Services & subscriptions section. Here you’ll find all your active subscriptions, including Minecraft Realms. Click on the Realms subscription and select “Cancel” or “Turn off recurring billing.”
Platform-Specific Cancellation Methods
For PC/Java Edition Users
If you purchased your Realm through the Minecraft launcher, you can cancel directly from the game. Open Minecraft, go to the Realms tab, and click on your Realm. Look for subscription settings or billing options where you can disable auto-renewal.
For Mobile and Console Players
Mobile users need to cancel through their respective app stores:
- iOS: Go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions, find Minecraft, and cancel
- Android: Open Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > Minecraft > Cancel
- PlayStation: Account Management > Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions
- Xbox: Xbox account settings > Subscriptions
Important Timing Considerations
Your Realm will remain active until the end of your current billing period, even after cancellation. This means you won’t lose access immediately – you can continue playing until the subscription expires. Make sure to download any important worlds before the subscription ends if you want to keep them.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you can’t find the cancellation option, check that you’re logged into the correct Microsoft account that purchased the subscription. Sometimes subscriptions appear under different accounts if you’ve used multiple emails. Contact Microsoft support if you’re still having trouble locating your subscription.
Once you’ve successfully canceled your Realm subscription, you might want to explore other ways to enjoy Minecraft with friends through various gaming platforms.
TL;DR
Cancel Minecraft Realms through your Microsoft account’s Services & subscriptions section, or use platform-specific methods like app stores for mobile devices.
