How to cancel Siege and reclaim control of your subscription
Why you might want to cancel your Siege subscription
Siege subscriptions renew automatically, and many UK players discover unexpected charges on their bank statement weeks after deciding to quit. You may have purchased a Battle Pass expecting to play regularly, only to find your gaming time evaporated. Seasonal content might no longer excite you, or you've simply decided to explore other games. Whatever your reason, you have absolute rights as a UK consumer to cancel your subscription without penalty or pressure.
The challenge is that Ubisoft doesn't advertise the cancellation process prominently. Your subscription renews without warning, and by the time you notice the charge, you're already locked in for another billing cycle. Yafee exists to empower you with clear, step-by-step guidance to cancel confidently and reclaim control over your digital spending. This guide walks you through every method, your legal protections, and how to avoid common pitfalls.
Common reasons UK players cancel Siege
Financial pressures drive most cancellation decisions. A £7.99 to £29.99 monthly subscription might seem modest, but it accumulates quickly when you're juggling multiple services. Other players cancel because they've unlocked the operators they wanted, completed the Battle Pass, or simply lost interest in competitive gaming. Some take seasonal breaks and forget to reactivate, only to face unwanted charges. All of these are legitimate reasons, and you never need to justify your decision to Ubisoft.
Your consumer rights in the united kingdom
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 protect you when cancelling digital services. Under these laws, companies must provide clear, upfront information about automatic renewals and give you a simple way to cancel. If Ubisoft makes cancellation deliberately difficult or buries the option, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to Trading Standards or the Citizens Advice Consumer Service.
Your legal position is straightforward: you can cancel at any time without waiting for your renewal date or providing a reason. Once you cancel, you should receive confirmation in writing. If Ubisoft charges you after you've cancelled, you can request a refund under consumer protection law. Yafee's guidance helps you understand exactly how to pursue that claim.
Understanding Siege subscription plans and pricing
Siege offers several subscription tiers, each with different costs and automatic renewal terms.
Current subscription options in the UK
The main subscription product is the Battle Pass, which renews each season (approximately every three months). You can also purchase a Year Pass or R6 Credits bundles. Understanding which subscription you've actually purchased is essential before you cancel, because different products have different cancellation routes and renewal schedules.

Where automatic renewal creates confusion
The real problem emerges when you purchase through Ubisoft's platform or via a third-party store (PlayStation Store, Steam, Xbox Game Pass). Each platform handles cancellation differently, and Ubisoft doesn't always make it clear which method you used. Your first task is identifying your payment method and which platform holds your subscription.
Methods to cancel Siege: your cancellation routes
Siege subscriptions can be cancelled through multiple channels depending on where you purchased them.
Cancel via the ubisoft website
If you purchased your Battle Pass or subscription directly from Ubisoft, you can manage your subscription through your Ubisoft account. This is often the fastest route.
- Sign in to your Ubisoft account at www.ubisoft.com
- Use the email address linked to your Siege account
- Have your password ready (use "Forgot password" if needed)
- Navigate to "Account" in the top-right corner
- Select "Personal information" or "Account settings"
- Find the "Subscriptions" or "Billing" section
- Look for "Active subscriptions" or "Recurring payments"
- Locate your Siege Battle Pass or Year Pass subscription
- Select "Manage subscription" or "Cancel subscription"
- Confirm cancellation
- Ubisoft may ask why you're cancelling (optional to answer)
- Select "Confirm cancellation" or similar button
- You should receive an immediate on-screen confirmation
- Check your email within 5 minutes
- A cancellation confirmation should arrive from Ubisoft
- Save this email as proof of cancellation
Cancel a PlayStation store subscription
If you purchased Siege through PlayStation Store (PS4 or PS5), you must cancel directly with Sony, not Ubisoft. Yafee emphasises this distinction because many players attempt to cancel on Ubisoft's website, only to discover their payment method is still linked to PlayStation.
- Sign in to your PlayStation account at www.playstation.com
- Use the email associated with your PSN account
- Go to "Account" and select "Payment and subscriptions"
- Choose "Subscriptions" from the menu
- Find your Siege subscription in the list
- Look for "Rainbow Six Siege" or "Battle Pass"
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Turn off auto-renewal"
- PlayStation may offer a discount to keep you (ignore this if you've decided to quit)
- Confirm your cancellation
- Choose your reason (optional)
- Click "Confirm cancellation"
- You'll see an on-screen confirmation message
- Verify by email
- Check your inbox for a cancellation confirmation from Sony
- This confirms your subscription will not renew
Cancel an xbox or game pass subscription
Xbox Game Pass subscribers often access Siege included in their pass. If you want to cancel Game Pass itself, follow Xbox's process. If you want to cancel only auto-renewal of Siege cosmetics or Battle Pass purchases, you'll manage that separately.
- Sign in to your Microsoft account at www.microsoft.com
- Use your email address and password
- Select "Your account" and choose "Subscriptions"
- Look for "Manage subscriptions" or "Recurring billing"
- Find your Siege or Game Pass subscription
- Identify which product you want to cancel
- Select "Manage" or "Cancel subscription"
- Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation
- Receive confirmation
- You should see a message confirming your cancellation immediately
- Check your email for written confirmation within minutes
Cancel via steam
If you purchased Siege content through Valve's Steam platform, Siege subscriptions are typically managed through your Ubisoft account, not Steam directly. However, if you're concerned about charges, check your Steam purchase history first.
- Open Steam and sign in
- Use your Steam account credentials
- Click your username in the top-right corner
- Choose "Manage gifts and guest passes"
- Or look for "Subscriptions" or "Recurring purchases"
- If you see recurring charges for Siege, cancel them here
- Select the subscription and choose "Cancel recurring purchase"
- For Battle Pass specifically, you may need to cancel through Ubisoft's website instead
- Steam only handles game purchases, not in-game subscription management
What happens after you cancel your Siege subscription
Cancellation takes effect immediately, but understanding what you retain (and what you lose) is crucial.
Immediate access changes
Once you cancel, you lose access to Premium Battle Pass rewards immediately. You can no longer earn premium cosmetics or battle pass exclusive items. However, you keep all previously purchased operators and cosmetics permanently. Your rank and statistics remain on your account indefinitely.
Refund eligibility and process
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you may be eligible for a refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase and haven't used most of the service. Yafee recommends requesting a refund in writing if your cancellation falls within this window.
To request a refund, send an email to Ubisoft's support team with the following information:
- Your Ubisoft account email address
- The date of purchase
- The subscription type you purchased (Battle Pass, Year Pass, etc.)
- Your cancellation date
- A clear statement requesting a refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
- Your bank details for refund processing
Ubisoft typically processes refunds within 5 to 10 working days. If they refuse, you can escalate the complaint to Trading Standards or the Citizens Advice Consumer Service free of charge.
Common mistakes that prevent successful cancellation
Cancelling is straightforward, but a few pitfalls catch many players off guard. Stay alert to these traps, and your cancellation will go smoothly.
Confusing which platform holds your subscription
The most common mistake is cancelling on the wrong platform. If you purchased through PlayStation Store but try to cancel on Ubisoft's website, your subscription will continue renewing. Always check your bank statement to see which entity charged you (Ubisoft, Sony, Microsoft, or Valve). That's your answer.
Failing to save your cancellation confirmation
Don't assume one email from Ubisoft or your platform is enough proof. Screenshots of your account showing "No active subscriptions" or "Subscription cancelled" are invaluable if a dispute arises. Download and email these to yourself as backup.
Not checking for hidden recurring charges
Some players purchase one-time cosmetics or operators but accidentally enable "auto-replenish" for R6 Credits. This creates a hidden recurring charge separate from your Battle Pass. Check both your Ubisoft account and your payment platform for any other recurring transactions before assuming you've cancelled everything.
Cancelling but not checking the next billing cycle
Verify that no charge appears on your statement 3 to 5 days after your expected renewal date. If a charge does appear after you've cancelled, contact your bank immediately and report it as an unauthorised transaction. Then escalate the complaint to Ubisoft with your cancellation proof.
Your consumer protection and escalation rights
If Ubisoft refuses to cancel or charges you after cancellation, UK consumer law gives you clear remedies.
Your legal position and protection framework
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 are your shield. These laws state that:
- You have the right to cancel any digital service subscription at any time without penalty
- Companies must provide a clear, simple cancellation mechanism (they cannot bury it or charge a cancellation fee)
- If a company breaches these rights, you can request a refund and claim compensation
- You can escalate complaints to Trading Standards or Citizens Advice free of charge
If ubisoft refuses to cancel or refund
If Ubisoft refuses your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you're entitled to, follow this escalation process:
- Send a formal written complaint to Ubisoft's UK support team
- Include your account details, transaction history, and cancellation proof
- Reference the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 by name
- State your cancellation date and expected refund amount
- Give Ubisoft 14 days to respond
- If Ubisoft doesn't respond or refuses, contact Trading Standards
- Visit www.tradingstandards.gov.uk to find your local office
- File a complaint with evidence of your cancellation and Ubisoft's refusal
- Trading Standards can intervene and force compliance
- As an alternative, contact Citizens Advice Consumer Service
- Call 0808 223 1133 (free, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm)
- Or visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk for online guidance
- They can mediate disputes and escalate to enforcement bodies
- If the amount is under £10,000, use the Small Claims Track
- File a claim at your local County Court
- This is free or low-cost and doesn't require a solicitor
