When a lot of publishers start launching their own subscription services, you can’t expect EA to just sit and watch. EA has its own subscription service called EA Access (Xbox One and PS4), Origin Access is the PC version of the subscription service. The service on consoles has three primary pillars: Early trials, Member Discounts, and The Vault. We can definitely confirm that most people will subscribe because of the vault. It grants you access to a growing number of EA published software and, even though right now it is mostly sports games, it is actually fairly priced.
The biggest problem is that because Playstation doesn’t have backwards compatibility with the PS3, the Xbox version of the service is far more superior because it gives you access to more games. That being said because the price is so appealing, a one-year subscription still holds a lot of value.
Let’s say you bought the subscription and had fun with it but you no longer see a use for it and do not wish to renew it. How do you cancel your subscription to EA Access? Well, that is the reason why we have this blog, to help you cancel the services you don’t wish to use anymore. The way to cancel the service depends on what console you are using.
Before you cancel the EA Access subscription, you should know that you will lose all benefits of the service. That includes early trials, discounts, and all the games you could access through the vault. If you wish to keep these benefits, you will need to renew the subscription.
Cancel the service using your PS4
If you choose to cancel your EA Access subscription, keep in mind that you can still keep the benefits until the end of the current subscription period. To cancel the service, follow these steps:
- From your PS4™, log in to the account on PSN that purchased the subscription.
- Navigate to [Settings] > [Account Management] > [Account Information] > [PlayStation Subscriptions]
- Select the EA Access subscription you want to cancel.
- Select Turn Off Auto-Renewal.
Cancel the service using your Xbox (Microsoft account)
Unfortunately, Microsoft does not have a direct way to cancel the service on the console, so you will need to head to your account settings on the Microsoft website. From there you will be able to cancel any subscriptions you have associated with your account.
- Navigate to account.microsoft.com/services.
- Sign in to your Microsoft account.
- Navigate to the EA Access subsection of the page.
- Click Manage.
- Choose Turn off auto-renew.
- Select Confirm cancellation.
