Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Cheaper plan On PC, downgrade from EA Play Pro ($16.99 a month) to EA Play ($5.99 a month) help.ea.com ea.com
  • Pay yearly Pay yearly: EA Play is $39.99 a year instead of $5.99 a month; EA Play Pro is $119.99 a year instead of $16.99 a month ea.com
  • Bundle EA Play comes with PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so a separate EA Play membership isn't needed if you have either xbox.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Cancel on the platform you joined through: a membership on one platform does not work on another and can't be cancelled from another
  • On the EA app you can reverse the cancellation until the next billing date
  • Games bought with the 10% member discount stay yours after cancelling

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/ea_play.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated hard).
