Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose my game progress if I cancel Apple Arcade? ⌄

Game progress is saved via iCloud. If you re-subscribe, your progress will be there. You just can't play Arcade-exclusive games until resubscribed.

Is Apple Arcade included in Apple One? ⌄

Yes. Apple One (Individual $19.95/mo, Family $25.95/mo) includes Apple Arcade, TV+, Music, and iCloud+. Cancelling Apple One also cancels Arcade.

Can I use Apple Arcade on multiple devices? ⌄

Yes. One Apple Arcade subscription works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV linked to the same Apple ID.

About Apple Arcade Subscriptions

Apple Arcade ($6.99/month or $49.99/year) offers 200+ games with no ads and no in-app purchases. Cancel through your Apple subscription settings. This guide covers every platform — iPhone / iPad, Mac — so you can cancel from whichever device you have handy.

Before You Cancel Apple Arcade

Before cancelling, check a few things: which platform you subscribed on (App Store, Google Play, or the website directly), since you must cancel in the same place you signed up. If you subscribed on the website, cancelling through your iPhone Settings won't work — and vice versa.

Also note your next billing date. Apple Arcade doesn't delete your account when you cancel — you keep access until the period ends. There's no penalty for cancelling early, but you won't get a refund for unused days unless stated in the refund policy above.

Can I Resubscribe After Cancelling?

Yes — you can resubscribe to Apple Arcade at any time. Your account data, preferences, and history are typically preserved for 30–90 days after cancellation, depending on the service. Simply log back in and choose a new plan.

What If I Can't Find the Cancel Button?

Some services intentionally bury the cancel option. Follow the exact steps above — if you still can't find it, check that you're logged into the correct account (some people have multiple accounts). You can also contact Apple Arcade support directly and request cancellation via chat or email — they are legally required to process it.
