What is Rocksmith+
Service overview
Rocksmith+ is a subscription-based, interactive guitar and bass learning service from Ubisoft that provides lessons, song arrangements, and real-time feedback.
The platform is delivered through Ubisoft and on major app stores, and subscriptions are managed either directly via Ubisoft or through third-party stores (PlayStation, Apple App Store, Google Play).
Who it's for
It targets players who want adaptive practice tools, a song library, and features such as riff repeater and performance feedback to learn guitar or bass.
Availability and exact features vary by platform and region, and some legacy Rocksmith 2014 features are not present in Rocksmith+.
How to cancel Rocksmith+
Cancel via Ubisoft web (direct purchase)
- Sign in to your Ubisoft account at store.ubi.com or Ubisoft account portal.
- Go to "My Account" or "Subscriptions" and find Rocksmith+.
- Select cancel/turn off auto-renew. Your access will continue until the end of the paid period.
Cancel via PlayStation, Apple or Google
- PlayStation (NZ PS Store): Manage subscriptions in your PS account settings. Turn off auto-renew to stop future payments; no refund for the current paid period.
- Apple App Store (iOS NZ): Open iPhone/iPad Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Rocksmith+ → Cancel. The App Store manages the subscription.
- Google Play (Android NZ): Open Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Rocksmith+ → Cancel. Ubisoft directs Android users to the platform.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, your subscription will remain active until the end of the period you already paid for.
You can keep using Rocksmith+ features for the remainder of that billing cycle; features will stop at expiry unless you re-subscribe.
Renewal and billing effects
Cancellation prevents future automatic renewals but does not retroactively remove charges already billed.
For platform purchases, billing and renewal are handled by that platform and may follow its timing and confirmation steps.
Will I get a refund?
Ubisoft direct purchases
- Direct Ubisoft purchases: generally no refunds after cancellation; unused paid time is not refunded.
- Access continues until the paid period ends but there is no credit or refund for remaining time.
Third-party platforms and exceptions
- PlayStation, Apple and Google refund policies govern purchases made through those stores.
- PlayStation Store NZ: may allow a 14-day refund for subscriptions that have not been used; check PS Store policy for specifics.
- Apple and Google: follow their respective App Store / Google Play refund processes and eligibility rules.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
General rules
Under New Zealand consumer law, changing your mind about a digital subscription does not automatically entitle you to a refund.
Unless a platform or seller provides a voluntary refunds policy, subscriptions bought in NZ are generally non-refundable for a simple change of mind.
Faulty products and statutory rights
- The Consumer Guarantees Act may apply if the digital product is faulty or not as described; this can create entitlement to remedies.
- Platform-specific protections (PlayStation, Apple, Google) can provide additional options; check each store's refund process.
Customer experiences
Positive points reported
- Many users praise the learning tools: real-time feedback, adaptive difficulty and riff repeater are seen as strong educational features.
- Some users appreciate the song library and find the interface enjoyable versus alternatives.
Common complaints
- Frequent criticisms include limited song selection, missing big bands, perceived filler tracks and an expensive subscription model.
- Other recurring issues: UI problems, removed or missing legacy features, bugs, audio issues and frustrations with cancellations or refund denials.
Documentation checklist
What to have ready before contacting support
- Ubisoft account email or platform account email used to purchase the subscription.
- Order number, receipt or transaction ID from Ubisoft, PlayStation, Apple or Google.
- Purchase date and plan type (monthly, 3-month, annual) and platform used to subscribe.
Helpful extras
- Screenshots of subscription status, billing statements or app store purchase history.
- Support ticket IDs, error messages, and brief description of the issue (e.g., unwanted renewal, billing error, technical fault).
Common mistakes
Cancelling the wrong account
Users sometimes cancel a different Ubisoft or platform account than the one used to subscribe, leaving the original active.
Always verify the account email and transaction details before cancelling.
Expecting immediate refunds or loss of access
Many expect an immediate refund or immediate loss of access; in reality access usually continues until the paid period ends and refunds are platform-dependent.
Assuming the app store can override Ubisoft’s direct-sale policy is another common source of confusion - refunds depend on who sold the subscription.
