If I cancel my OWN gamepass on Xbox while I am using my brother's game share and he has his own game pass, will it cancel both or just mine?

    Canceling the Game Pass subscription purchased on your Microsoft account will cancel only yours; your brother’s separately purchased subscription and the Game Pass access he shares through Home Xbox will remain active.

    Game Pass subscriptions are associated with the Xbox account that owns them, while Home Xbox allows subscription content to be shared with other accounts on that console.^1^ ^2^

    Cancel only your subscription

    1. Open Services & subscriptions while signed in to your own Microsoft account.
    2. Locate your Game Pass subscription and select Manage.
    3. Choose Cancel subscription or Turn off recurring billing, depending on the option displayed.
    4. Before confirming, verify that the displayed gamertag/account and subscription are yours.

    Turning off recurring billing lets your subscription run until its listed expiration date and prevents the next charge. Cancellation and refund availability can depend on the subscription terms, timing, and region.^3^

    You should continue receiving your brother’s shared benefits provided that:

    • His Game Pass remains active.
    • The Xbox you use remains designated as his Home Xbox, or he remains signed in where required.
    • He does not remove or move that Home Xbox assignment.^2^
