How to Cancel Nintendo Online Membership?

Nintendo Online is the official subscription service for Nintendo Switch users. By subscribing, you get access to online multiplayer gaming, the Nintendo Switch Online app, and a library of classic NES/SNES games. When you sign up, your subscription is set to renew automatically each month or year, depending on your plan. In this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to cancel or disable automatic renewal for your Nintendo Online Membership.

Nintendo Online offers two types of subscriptions: Individual and Family Membership. An Individual Membership is for a single user, while a Family Membership can be shared by up to eight users. This service is similar to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live.

2. A side window will appear; then click on the Settings button.

   

3. On the right side, select the Shop menu option.

   

4. Scroll down the page and click on Your Subscriptions.
