What happens after you cancel

After you cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription, you’ll no longer be charged, but you’ll still have access to all of your subscription benefits until the end of the payment period. Once your subscription is over, you’ll no longer be able to use the game library, any monthly free games you may have claimed, online storage or online multiplayer. However, packs, avatars and discounted purchases acquired through your subscription are yours to keep.
If you change your mind and don’t want to cancel your PlayStation Plus, you can reactivate your subscription by going to your subscription settings again and selecting Reactivate Subscription. If you do so before what would be your next payment date, it will keep the current subscription active; otherwise, you’ll need to purchase a new subscription through the PlayStation Store.
