<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf you\u2019d prefer to buy games instead of signing up for the Xbox Game Pass subscription simply click the Store <\/strong>button at the top of the Xbox Game Pass PC app. Here you\u2019ll see all of the games available for purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Visit account.microsoft.com<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and click Sign In<\/strong> at the top right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- On the next page, click Manage<\/strong> under Xbox Game Pass in the Subscriptions tile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/xbox-game-pass-cancel-subscription.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhen you cancel, you will have two options to choose from. You can either<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Cancel but keep the Game Pass for the remainder of your active subscription.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Cancel and get a partial refund based on the remaining time of your subscription.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Once you have cancelled, you must resubscribe to get the benefits of the Xbox Game Pass again. If you have purchased any games directly from the store, you\u2019ll still have access to those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Can I Play Xbox Game Pass Games Without Downloading Them?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Right now, Microsoft is building a live game streaming service called Project xCloud<\/strong>. With this, you\u2019ll be able to sign up to Xbox Game Pass and stream games directly from the cloud. This means you can play right away, without downloading them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, right now Project xCloud is available for preview on a very limited basis. If you\u2019d like to sign up, you can do so here but note that you may not get accepted straight away, if at all. In the future, Project xCloud will be available to the public and you\u2019ll be able to access all of its features by signing up to Xbox Game Pass or by purchasing games on the Xbox app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
