Just Dance 2026 Edition is a dance rhythm game developed and published by Ubisoft. It was revealed on July 31, 2025, during the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase July 2025 presentation as the seventeenth installment in the Just Dance series, and the fourth annual song pack after its three predecessors.[1] It was released on October 14, 2025 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.[2]
Gameplay
As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen coach's choreography to a chosen song using the game's associated smartphone app. Nintendo Switch players have the option to use the console's Joy-Con controllers, while the smartphone's camera can be used as a scoring method in single-player only, which is now out of beta. A new mode to the Just Dance hub, called "Party Mode", was announced as an addition to the game, in which features Dr. Gigavolt as the mode's main character, where players face various disturbances and actions during each song to reach a target percentage to pass the test. Each session features 5, 8 or 12 tests, consisting of short versions of every song from every Edition song pack as well as the Just Dance+ catalogue; "Gold Moves" are removed from this mode. Completing each session unlocks a reward, if available.[3]
