Critic Reviews for Just Dance 2026 Edition
What a difference three years, and four versions of Just Dance makes!
Just Dance 2026 Edition maintains the vibrant and fun essence that has made the franchise famous over the years, offering a solid selection of songs and choreography for all tastes, as well as significant technical improvements such as the use of the smartphone camera as a full-body sensor. The return of Party Mode and creative partnerships reinforce Ubisoft's commitment to keeping the game relevant and inclusive. However, the lack of significant innovations can leave a feeling of repetition for veteran players. Even so, the game excels in its mission: providing accessible and energetic fun for those who love to dance.

Just like with…pretty much every instalment so far, Just Dance 2026 Edition can be described as more of the same - but it’s the good kind of same. It doesn’t reinvent the franchise (and doesn’t really have to) but it keeps the dance floor alive and booming, with the unpredictability of the new Party Mode being this year’s highlight.
Just Dance 2026 Edition doesn't revolutionize Ubisoft's famous franchise, but it does introduce a couple of interesting new features. The ultimate party game returns with 40 new songs and the all-new Party mode, making for even more fun and chaotic sessions.

With the base Just Dance now a free app and the focus shifting to paying for Just Dance +, I'm judging this one mostly on the included song-list and it just didn't manage to excite us this year, outside of the collaboration with Bluey. My recommendation remains the same as previous Just Dance releases: you're probably better off getting the cheapest physical version of a previous year you can find and pay for Just Dance +, over paying for what is essentially expensive DLC.
Just Dance 2026 Edition is still just as fun as it always was. It’s a great title to get your friends and family together around the TV all the while losing a few calories in the process. The experience is a bit clumsy this time around and some bugs can get in the way, but that won’t stop you from enjoying the latest round of songs in this year’s iteration of Ubisoft’s popular dancing series. All you gotta do is Just Dance. ∎
Just Dance 2026 Edition refines Ubisoft’s dance formula with sharper visuals, smoother menus, and flexible control options. The new camera mode brings back Kinect-style freedom, while songs like the Bluey medley make it easier for everyone to join in. Subscription limits still sting, but strong choreography and a polished presentation keep the rhythm going for fans old and new.
Just Dance 2026 is a logical, safe continuation of the Just Dance series. This year, the game clearly prioritizes stability and accessibility over innovation. It's a version aimed primarily at families and casual players, less at avid dancers. The setlist is excellent, the Bluey track is an unexpected highlight, and dancing on the Switch 2 is a huge plus thanks to the two included controllers. Party Mode lacks some depth, and the internet connection remains an annoying limitation, but ultimately, Just Dance 2026 is exactly what you expect: more Just Dance. So, fans can dance for another year without worry.
