How to Permanently Delete Your Rockstar Games Social Club Account
Getting rid of your Rockstar Games Social Club account isn’t as straightforward as clicking a button and calling it a day. Honestly, I got stuck more than once trying to find the right spot because their support pages are kinda convoluted, and the delete option isn’t immediately obvious. If you’re totally sure you want out, here’s what finally worked for me — hopefully it saves someone else some stress.
First, you need to open up your favorite browser—Chrome, Firefox, Edge, whatever—and go to the Rockstar Games Social Club website. The direct link might be buried in the support links, so just type in support.rockstargames.com if the homepage isn’t giving you what you need. Some links might be embedded in support articles or FAQs, so don’t be surprised if you have to dig around.
Once there, sign into your account, which is kinda obvious but easy to forget. You can’t delete an account if you’re not logged in, right? After signing in, look for your profile icon at the top right corner. It’s a small avatar or initials, but that’s your entry point to account management. If login acts funny, try clearing cookies or cache, or switching browsers because sometimes Chrome hiccups on these sites. A quick Shift + F5 refresh can also help if the page isn’t updating properly.
Click on that icon, and a menu drops down. Find and select the “Help” option—this is basically the support portal. Sometimes, support pages make navigating a nightmare, so be prepared for a few tries. If things are really broken or you want to skip the maze, you can go straight to https://support.rockstargames.com. Just bookmark it, possibly.
Inside the support site, look for sections related to account issues. This part can be annoying because deleting your account isn’t front-and-center; it’s tucked inside categories like “Manage My Account” or “Support Ticket”. I kept digging through FAQs and privacy policies because the exact link to delete is often hidden behind vague wording—like “Close Account,” “Data Removal,” or “Account Deletion Request.” It can be buried in “Privacy and Data” sections or similar, depending on how recently they updated their UI. Patience here is key.
When you do find the “Delete Games Account” or similar option, click it. It’s usually not a simple toggle; it’s a process that involves reading through warnings and policies. Make sure to review what’s about to be wiped — your linked games, progress, achievements, and any associated data. Deleting your account is permanent and often means losing access to your purchased content, so double-check that you’ve backed up anything you want to keep. Also, be aware that deleting the account probably deletes linked email info and any linked social media, too.
Before kicking off the deletion, there’s usually a confirmation checkbox to affirm you understand what you’re doing. Don’t skip this step; it’s like Rockstar’s way of saying, “Are you really sure about this?” Check it carefully and read the fine print. Once you’re ready, click the “Submit Web Ticket” button—this is how support processes your request. Sometimes, it’s labeled “Contact Support” or “Create Ticket”. I tried initiating this through their chat support, but honestly, submitting a support ticket seemed more reliable for account deletion. You might also be asked (or have the option) to give a reason, but that’s optional.
After you send it off, Rockstar support should get back to you within 24 to 48 hours. During that wait, they might ask for additional verification or clarify some details. Occasionally, I noticed that the process isn’t instant — I had to send a couple of follow-up emails because their support isn’t always prompt. Make sure your contact info is current on your account, or you might get stuck verifying and wonder what’s going on. Patience is definitely needed here.
Once they confirm your request, and if everything goes smoothly, your Social Club account and all associated data will be permanently deleted. That means there’s no way to recover anything afterward—no more access to linked games, progress, achievements, or purchases. It’s a one-way trip. Because of how confusing and slow the process can be, I just had to remind myself to double-check a few things before hitting delete.
A couple of final tips—this process is not always a one-click thing. If things look off, try clearing your cookies or using a different browser. Sometimes, support tickets get delayed or lost in the shuffle, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. If 2FA is enabled on your account, disable it beforehand if possible, so you can verify your identity easily during contact. And don’t get discouraged if it takes a couple of tries or a few emails; Rockstar support is kinda hit or miss, but they do eventually process the request.
In the end, just remember: be sure about deleting your account because all data and game access tied to that Social Club profile will vanish forever. This whole thing is a little frustrating, mainly because Rockstar doesn’t make the process super clear — it’s a mix of clicking around and praying support gets back to you

Hope this helped — it took me way longer than it should’ve to figure it out, so sharing it feels worth it. Just double-check everything before confirming deletion, and good luck if you’re doing this!
