Canceling Apple Arcade can be done from Apple devices, Windows PCs, and some apps. You don't need an Apple device on hand to do so. Whether you traded in your Apple device or are considering the switch from an iOS device to an Android phone, we show you how to cancel your Apple Arcade subscription.

Access to Apple Arcade is a great perk of owning an Apple device. If it isn't enough to justify holding onto your iOS phone, consider switching to one of our top Samsung phones to experience the best Android ecosystem.

Should you cancel Apple Arcade?

Before you cancel Apple Arcade, you should know that, unlike other game subscriptions, saved data cannot be transferred outside your subscription. If you purchase a game included in Apple Arcade separately, you must start over again.

Consider an Apple One subscription if you're canceling Apple Arcade because it doesn't offer good value. It costs three times as much but provides access to Apple Music, Apple TV+, iCloud+, Apple News+, and Apple Fitness+ on top of Apple Arcade.
