Just Dance 2026 Edition review

Just Dance 2026 Edition is the most physical party game here and one of the easiest to start: guests copy the dancer on screen. Nintendo's store page lists up to 6 players on one system and 1 to 6 online, with 40 new tracks including APT. by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, Houdini by Dua Lipa and All Star by Smash Mouth. Groups can dance solo, in co-op, in a team Party Mode or in a competitive Challenge Mode, and Workout Mode tracks calories burned. Camera Controller Mode uses a phone and the free Just Dance Controller app to track the whole body. Songs owned from the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Editions show up in the same place, and the game includes 1 month of Just Dance+, a streaming service with hundreds of songs. The downsides are that the song list shrinks to the 40 new tracks once that month ends unless you pay for Just Dance+, and the listing shows TV and tabletop modes only. It costs $49.99 in the US Nintendo eShop.
