You Can Get An Xbox Live Refund Once The Paywall Comes Down
Microsoft is offering pro-rated refunds to customers because of the upcoming changes to Xbox Live policies. Yesterday, the company announced Netflix, Twitch, and other streaming services will be free to all console owners following an update next month.
Those who wish to cancel their memberships at that time will receive a pro-rata refund relative to the cancellation date and the end of the subscription. Free and trial memberships aren’t eligible, of course. Refunds will take six to eight weeks to process.
In order to request the refund, visit the Xbox contact page after the June update goes live changing the paywall.

Our Take
This is the right decision for Microsoft, as there are those who subscribe to Xbox Live (or are at least influenced) by the old policies. I’d be interested to hear from you whether you plan to keep Xbox Live following this change or if you’ll be moving to a free account.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
