Cancel Rainbow Six Siege: The Right Way
How to cancel your rainbow six siege R6 membership and protect your money
What is rainbow six siege and its R6 membership subscription
Rainbow Six Siege is a competitive tactical shooter developed by Ubisoft that has built a thriving live-service ecosystem since its launch. The game combines strategic team play, regular seasonal updates, and a professional esports scene that draws millions of players worldwide. In 2024 and beyond, Ubisoft introduced the R6 Membership - a recurring subscription service designed to enhance your in-game experience with cosmetics, battle pass access, and exclusive rewards.
The R6 Membership auto-renews every month or year unless you actively cancel it. This means your payment method will be charged repeatedly until you take action to stop the subscription. Many players in Ireland and the UK report surprise charges because they assume cancellation is automatic or because they forget the exact renewal date. At Stopee, we help thousands of consumers navigate these recurring charges and take back control of their subscriptions.
Understanding the R6 membership structure
The R6 Membership bundles several perks into one monthly or annual fee. You receive access to the premium battle pass, monthly legendary cosmetic items, battle level skips, exclusive bravo packs, and early-bird bonuses during seasonal launches. The subscription sits alongside other purchase methods - you can still buy cosmetics, operators, and battle pass levels separately without a membership. Ubisoft offers the membership on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and your membership benefits remain active until the end of your current paid billing period, even after you request cancellation.
Current pricing and billing models
Ubisoft sets regional pricing in euros for Irish and European players. Monthly plans charge around €9.99 per month, while annual plans offer significant savings at approximately €79.99 to €89.99 per year, depending on your platform and local VAT. The exact amount shown on your invoice may vary slightly due to regional tax adjustments. Both plans renew automatically unless you cancel before your renewal date. Keep in mind that platform storefronts (PlayStation Store, Xbox Game Pass, Steam, or the Ubisoft launcher) may display slightly different amounts based on their own processing fees and currency conversion rates.
| Plan type | Typical price (EUR) | Renewal frequency | Main benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| R6 Membership monthly | €9.99 | Every 30 days | Premium battle pass, monthly legendary item, 10 battle level skips, bravo pack |
| R6 Membership annual | €79.99-€89.99 | Every 12 months | Same perks as monthly, billed yearly at a discount |
Why you should cancel: common reasons and when to act
Deciding to cancel your R6 Membership is a personal choice, but understanding your options and rights makes the process straightforward. Here are the situations where Irish consumers typically choose to cancel.
Reasons players cancel their membership
Your gaming priorities change. You may have played Rainbow Six Siege heavily for a season but now prefer other titles or have less free time. You realise the cosmetics and battle pass rewards don't match your playstyle or aesthetic preferences. You're unhappy with seasonal content updates or balance changes in the game itself. You've noticed unexpected charges and want to review your spending before deciding whether to resubscribe. You're moving to a different gaming platform or service. You simply want to pause your subscription temporarily to save money. All of these reasons are valid, and your consumer rights in Ireland protect your ability to cancel without penalty or delay.
When to cancel before charges apply
Timing matters because auto-renewal happens on a specific date each month or year. If your subscription renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 14th, you'll stop the next charge. If you cancel on the 16th, after the renewal has processed, you've already paid for the next billing period. Pro tip: check your last invoice or account page to find your exact renewal date, then set a calendar reminder for one or two days before. This buffer gives you time to confirm cancellation before the charge goes through. At Stopee, we recommend setting this reminder now so you never miss your cancellation window.
How your consumer rights protect you in ireland
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (as updated through 2022) grants you significant protections when cancelling digital subscriptions in Ireland. You have the right to cancel a subscription service within 14 days of purchase without giving any reason, and the trader must refund you in full. After the 14-day period, you still retain the right to cancel at any time, but the trader may impose a proportionate charge for services already provided.
Your 14-day cancellation window
When you first purchase the R6 Membership, you enter a 14-day "cooling-off" period under Irish consumer law. During this window, you can cancel and request a full refund, even if you've already used the membership and received cosmetic rewards. Ubisoft must honour this request provided you notify them within 14 days of your initial payment. You don't need to explain why you're cancelling or prove dissatisfaction - the law simply grants you this right. Keep your purchase confirmation email and the exact date you subscribed so you can prove you're within the window if Ubisoft questions your refund claim.
Cancellation rights after 14 days
Once the 14-day window closes, you retain the right to cancel at any time, but Ubisoft may charge you a fee for the membership benefits you've already enjoyed during the current billing period. In practice, most legitimate traders apply a proportionate deduction based on how many days of service you've used. If you're 20 days into a 30-day month, Ubisoft could calculate a prorated charge covering those 20 days and refund the remainder. However, if you cancel within a few days of your renewal date, you should receive most of your payment back. Always request a refund calculation in writing so you have proof of what Ubisoft owes you.
Escalation options if ubisoft refuses
If Ubisoft denies your cancellation request or withholds a refund you believe you're entitled to, you can escalate your complaint to the Irish national regulator. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) investigates unfair contract terms and trader breaches. You can file a complaint at www.ccpc.ie or contact them directly. Reference your consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and include copies of your correspondence with Ubisoft. The CCPC has the power to compel traders to honour legal obligations, and escalation often resolves disputes faster than repeated back-and-forths with customer service.
Step-by-step cancellation methods for each platform
Your cancellation method depends on which platform you subscribed through - PlayStation Network, Xbox, Steam, or the Ubisoft launcher. Each platform has a different interface, but the principle is the same: you find your subscriptions, select the R6 Membership, and request cancellation. Follow the steps for your specific platform below.
Cancelling via PlayStation network (PS4 or PS5)
PlayStation handles billing and subscription management separately from the game itself, so you must cancel directly through your PlayStation account. Here's exactly what to do.
- Sign into your PlayStation Network account on your console or at www.playstation.com using your email and password.
- Navigate to your Account settings (on console: Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Account information).
- On the web, go to Account Settings in the top-right menu.
- Select Subscriptions or Payment Methods (this may vary slightly depending on your PS version).
- Find R6 Membership in your active subscriptions list.
- Select Manage Subscription or Cancel Subscription - the exact wording varies by region.
- Confirm cancellation by selecting the final cancel button. Pro tip: screenshot or note the exact date and time of cancellation so you have proof.
- Check for a confirmation email from Sony within minutes to hours confirming the cancellation request.
Warning: do not delete the game or your account - you're only cancelling the recurring subscription, not removing your access to Rainbow Six Siege itself. You'll still own the game; you'll simply lose the R6 Membership benefits once your current billing period ends.
Cancelling via xbox (Game pass, microsoft store, or xbox live)
Xbox subscriptions are managed through your Microsoft account. If you subscribed through Xbox Game Pass, you may need to cancel Game Pass itself or remove the R6 Membership add-on separately.
- Go to account.microsoft.com and sign in with your email and password.
- Select Subscriptions from the left-hand menu.
- Find R6 Membership in your active subscriptions.
- Select Manage Subscription.
- Choose Cancel Subscription and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
- Receive a confirmation email from Microsoft within minutes.
If you subscribed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the R6 Membership was a perk, you may need to cancel the add-on separately through your subscription dashboard. Pro tip: contact Xbox Support if you're unsure whether the R6 Membership is a standalone charge or bundled with Game Pass.
Cancelling via steam
Steam manages subscriptions through your Steam account and payment settings.
- Log into Steam on your PC or via steampowered.com.
- Click your profile name in the top-right corner and select Account.
- Select Manage Subscriptions or Subscriptions (this appears under Billing or Payment Settings, depending on your region).
- Locate R6 Membership and select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm cancellation by clicking the final cancel button.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Valve within hours.
Warning: if you're also using Steam's family sharing or have set up automatic payments through a stored card, confirm that cancellation stops all future charges, not just the next one.
Cancelling via the ubisoft launcher or official account
If you subscribed directly through Ubisoft.com or the Ubisoft+ launcher, follow these steps to cancel within Ubisoft's own system.
- Log into your Ubisoft account at www.ubisoft.com.
- Navigate to Account Settings (usually accessible from a profile icon in the top-right corner).
- Select Payment Methods or Subscriptions.
- Find R6 Membership and select Manage or Cancel.
- Confirm cancellation and receive a confirmation email from Ubisoft Support.
If you're struggling to find the cancellation option, open a support ticket at support.ubi.com and ask a representative to cancel for you directly. Provide your account email, username, and the last four digits of your payment method to speed up the process. At Stopee, we often recommend this approach when the online system is confusing or unresponsive.
What happens after you cancel and how long benefits last
Cancellation doesn't mean instant loss of your membership perks. Ubisoft's policy states that your R6 Membership benefits remain active until the end of your current billing period, even after you've cancelled. This is important because it protects you from losing access mid-month.
Timeline of your cancellation and benefit access
If you renew on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 17th, you've already paid for this cycle, so your membership continues through the end of that billing period (roughly the 14th of the next month). You'll lose access to the R6 Membership benefits on the 15th when your next renewal date would have occurred. Any cosmetics, battle passes, or rewards you've already claimed remain permanently in your account - Ubisoft cannot revoke in-game items after cancellation. Pro tip: download or screenshot a list of cosmetics you claim during the final days of your membership so you have a record of what you received.
Refund timelines and payment method holds
If you're entitled to a refund (either within the 14-day window or due to a refund calculation after 14 days), Ubisoft must process it within 14 calendar days of confirming your cancellation. The refund returns to your original payment method - credit card, debit card, PayPal, or whatever platform you used. Depending on your bank or card provider, the refund may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to appear in your account. During this time, your payment method may show a temporary hold or pending transaction; this is normal and should disappear once the refund completes. If the refund doesn't appear after 21 days, contact Ubisoft Support with your cancellation confirmation and receipt.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small missteps can lead to frustration and unnecessary charges. Real players have shared these pitfalls, and we've documented them so you don't repeat them.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the game rather than on your platform account
Many players look for a cancellation option within Rainbow Six Siege itself or in the in-game shop. The R6 Membership is not managed inside the game - it's managed by your platform (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Ubisoft) or payment provider. If you try to cancel in-game, you'll find no cancellation button, which can leave you confused and thinking your request didn't work. Always cancel through your platform's account settings or subscription dashboard, not the game menu.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is instant
You may think that cancelling stops your next charge immediately. In reality, auto-renewal happens at a specific moment (usually the anniversary of your original purchase or subscription). If you cancel after that moment passes, the charge has already processed. You've paid for another billing period whether you noticed or not. Pro tip: cancel at least two days before your renewal date to avoid this trap. Check your last invoice for the exact renewal date - it's always printed there.
Mistake 3: losing your cancellation confirmation
After you cancel, your platform sends a confirmation email. Many players receive this and then immediately delete it or ignore it. If Ubisoft later claims you never cancelled or charges you again, that confirmation email is your proof that you took action. Keep it in a folder or forward it to yourself with a clear subject line so you can find it months later if needed. Stopee advises all our users to retain cancellation confirmations for at least 12 months.
Mistake 4: not following up if a charge appears
Even careful players sometimes get charged after cancelling. This happens due to processing delays, system glitches, or misunderstandings between platforms and Ubisoft's servers. If you see a charge post to your account after cancellation, don't ignore it - contact Ubisoft Support immediately with your cancellation confirmation and receipt. The sooner you report the error, the faster you'll receive a refund. Waiting weeks or months makes the dispute harder to resolve.
Mistake 5: cancelling your entire platform account instead of just the subscription
In frustration, some players delete their PlayStation, Xbox, or Ubisoft accounts thinking this will stop all charges. Account deletion is permanent and may result in loss of your games, progress, and library - a far harsher outcome than you intended. You only need to cancel the R6 Membership subscription, not your entire account. Cancelling the subscription is reversible; account deletion is not.
Refund eligibility and how to request one
You may be entitled to a refund depending on when you cancel and how long you've held the membership. Understanding your refund rights empowers you to recover money you shouldn't have been charged.
Refund within 14 days of purchase
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 grants you an unconditional right to cancel and request a full refund within 14 days of your first payment. This applies even if you've used the membership extensively and claimed all available cosmetics during this window. Ubisoft cannot argue that the service was already delivered or that you've consumed the benefit. The law states simply that within 14 days, you have the right to change your mind and get your money back. To claim this refund, contact Ubisoft Support, provide your account email and original receipt, and clearly state that you're exercising your 14-day cancellation right under Irish consumer law.
Refund after 14 days but within the billing period
After the 14-day window closes, Ubisoft may impose a proportionate charge for services you've already used. If you subscribed to a monthly membership on January 1st for €9.99 and cancel on January 21st, you've used 21 of 31 days in the billing period. Ubisoft could charge you a prorated fee covering those 21 days (approximately €6.73) and refund the remainder (approximately €3.26). This is fair and legal under Irish law. Always ask Ubisoft to provide a written calculation of the refund so you can verify the math.
How to request your refund in writing
Contact Ubisoft Support at support.ubi.com and open a ticket titled "Refund Request for R6 Membership Cancellation." Include the following information in your message.
- Your Ubisoft account email and username.
- Your original purchase date and receipt number (from your email or payment method statement).
- The date you cancelled.
- The amount charged (from your invoice).
- A clear statement of your refund request, referencing the Consumer Rights Act 2015 if you're within the 14-day window.
- Your preferred refund method (back to the original payment method is standard).
Send this request in writing - email is fine - so you have a durable record. Ubisoft must respond within 14 days with either approval or a detailed explanation of why they're denying your refund. If they deny your claim incorrectly, you can escalate to the CCPC as outlined above.
Keeping versus cancelling: which choice makes sense
Before you cancel, take a moment to decide whether cancelling is truly your best option or whether pausing and reconsidering might serve you better.
| Reason | Cancel now | Keep or pause |
|---|---|---|
| You're not playing Rainbow Six Siege anymore | Cancel immediately | - |
| You're taking a break but might return next season | Consider this | Cancel and resubscribe later |
| You love the seasonal cosmetics and play weekly | - | Keep the membership |
| Unexpected charge bothered you but you enjoy the game | Consider this | Keep but set a reminder for renewal dates |
| You're struggling financially and need to cut expenses | Cancel immediately | - |
| You're unsure whether the perks match your playstyle | Consider cancelling | Trial lasts until end of billing period anyway |
The key insight is this: Rainbow Six Siege remains fully playable and enjoyable without the R6 Membership. You can still access all maps, play competitive ranked, and unlock operators through normal gameplay. The membership simply accelerates cosmetic collection and adds a battle pass layer. If that value doesn't align with your priorities or budget, cancellation is the right call. If you're on the fence, let your current billing period expire naturally without cancelling, then resubscribe if you miss the perks next season.
How stopee helps you cancel subscriptions and stay in control

Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling your Rainbow Six Siege R6 Membership is a straightforward process if you know which platform you subscribed through and how to navigate that platform's subscription settings. Remember that you have legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 - specifically, the right to cancel within 14 days for a full refund, and the right to cancel at any time after that with only proportionate charges for services used.
Your next step is to identify your platform (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Ubisoft launcher) and follow the cancellation steps outlined above. Set a reminder for your renewal date, and cancel at least two days before that date to prevent unwanted charges. If you've already been charged unfairly or if Ubisoft denies a refund you believe you're entitled to, escalate your complaint to the CCPC. Keep all cancellation confirmations and receipts for at least 12 months as proof of your actions.
