Does Deleting GTA V Cancel GTA+?

No. Uninstalling GTA V or GTA Online doesn't touch your subscription. GTA+ is billed through your PlayStation, Microsoft, Steam or Rockstar Store account and keeps renewing every month until you turn off auto-renew there. Cancel in the store first, then uninstall if you want to. Deleting your game data won't get you a refund for months you were billed but didn't play.

Does GTA+ cancel if I get banned?

No. Rockstar's GTA+ support page says that if you're banned or suspended from GTA Online, **you still have to cancel GTA+ yourself** using the normal store steps. Billing doesn't stop just because you can't play. If you were charged while banned, cancel immediately in the store that bills you. Then ask that store for a refund of the charges since the ban, with the ban date and transaction IDs.

Will GTA+ End Immediately When I Cancel?

No. GTA+ terms say access 'will terminate only at the end of your then-current billing period'. Once you turn off auto-renew, you keep every benefit until the paid month runs out, and then the membership ends automatically. On Xbox, if you see an option to *turn on recurring billing*, your cancellation has worked and you won't be charged again.

Is there a GTA+ cancellation fee?

No. You can cancel GTA+ at any time with no fee or exit penalty, and there's no minimum term beyond the month you've paid for. The catch is the lack of pro-rata refunds: cancelling halfway through a month doesn't return the unused days, you just keep access until the cycle ends. To avoid paying for an extra month, cancel at least a day before your renewal date.

What if Rockstar ignores my GTA+ cancellation or refund request?

First, check the cancellation actually took in your billing store. On Xbox, 'turn on recurring billing' showing means it's off. If you were still charged, ask that store for a refund. For Rockstar Store/Epic purchases, open a ticket or live chat at support.rockstargames.com with your receipt, transaction ID and platform. If written tickets stall, escalate in writing to Rockstar's customer-experience leadership and keep screenshots of the cancelled state as evidence.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a GTA+ Refund After an Unwanted Renewal.

Here's what GTA+ actually owes you, what their policy quietly says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

The short answer

GTA+ membership charges: cancelling only stops future renewals. You keep benefits until the paid month ends and Rockstar doesn't refund part-months. Any refund of a GTA+ charge depends on the store that billed you (PlayStation, Microsoft, Steam, or Rockstar Store/Epic via the Rockstar Games Refund Policy). PlayStation's listing says payments already made aren't refunded. One-off purchases are separate: Rockstar Store digital games may be refundable with no more than 2 hours of runtime, but GTA$, Shark Cards and other virtual goods are listed as non-refundable. Regional statutory rights (EU/UK withdrawal, unauthorised-charge disputes) can still apply on top of these terms.

How long does a GTA+ refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for GTA+

Sometimes, but it isn't guaranteed. Rockstar's GTA+ page tells you to check the purchasing store's terms 'for applicable refund policies, if any', and the PlayStation Store listing says payments already made aren't refunded. Your best route is a refund request to the store that charged you (PlayStation, Microsoft, Steam, or Rockstar Support for Rockstar Store purchases). Include your transaction ID and date, and explain why: for example, an accidental renewal you haven't used, or a charge after you cancelled. Regional consumer law may give extra rights.
