PlayStation Store preorder refunds
PlayStation says a digital preorder placed more than 14 days before release can generally be cancelled before release if the main content has not started downloading or preloading. A preorder placed 14 days or less before release may generally be cancelled within 14 days of purchase if the main content has not started downloading or preloading. Local rights and payment-method handling can vary, so use the refund option in the relevant PlayStation account or contact PlayStation Support.
Xbox and Microsoft Store preorder cancellations
Microsoft says you can cancel a preorder from your account order history. If the order has already been billed and the Cancel option is unavailable, use the Xbox refund route or contact Microsoft Store Support. Microsoft account balance may be charged immediately, while other payment methods can be charged closer to release.
Physical and third-party retailer orders
Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and other retailers control their own cancellation, pickup, shipping, and return rules. Open the order details from the retailer that accepted payment, check whether the order has entered shipping, and keep the cancellation confirmation. Do not assume a console-store policy applies to a retailer order.
