Sid Meier's Starships cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Sid Meier's Starships stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Sid Meier's Starships will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Sid Meier's Starships?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Sid Meier's Starships directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Sid Meier's Starships charge and choose Request a refund.

Why is Sid Meier's Starships still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Sid Meier's Starships as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Sid Meier's Starships account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Sid Meier's Starships app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Sid Meier's Starships right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Sid Meier's Starships until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
