Just Dance 2024 release date and platforms
Just Dance 2024 released on October 24, 2023,almost a year after the release of its predecessor,Just Dance 2023. Regarding which platforms Just Dance 24 is available on, you can pick up the title onNintendo Switch,PlayStation 5, andXbox Series X|S.
The platform you play on might not seem like a huge deal breaker, but it’s important to remember thatJust Dancetracks your movement in order to score you against your friends, and the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 don’t have motion-tracking controllers. Instead, these platforms rely on an external app available for smartphones, appropriately called theJust DanceController. You’ll need to keep this on you when playing, much like you would a Joy-Con controller with Nintendo Switch.
If you’re taking platform into account when subscribing toJust Dance+ - an additional subscription service that offers you over 200 additional songs from previous Just Dance games on top of the new tracks included in Just Dance 2024 - it’s worth noting that both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch subscribers will need to go through the in-game service in order to subscribe, whereasJust Dance+players on Xbox Series X|S will need to subscribe viathe official Just Dance website.

Just Dance 2024 gameplay and songs
In terms of gameplay, if you’ve picked up aJust Dancegame before, you’ll probably know how it plays out. Armed with a playlist of tunes varying from hip-hop to K-pop, to rock and even stretching as far as to include songs featured in internet trends,Just Dance 2024will have you out of your seat and moving around to the beat.
We don’t know the full tracklist forJust Dance 2024yet, but there are several songs that have already been confirmed through a handful of trailers. We can expect to see tunes like How You Like That by Blackpink and Flowers by Miley Cyrus debut in this edition of the franchise, alongside more classic tunes like I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston which will get even the most stubborn players up and grooving.
That said, the game offers 40 new songs and their accompanying universes, alongside all new characters to dance alongside. We don’t know a whole lot about the new settings for each song since we are already operating with limited knowledge of the tracklist, but we expect that to change shortly.
As we get closer to the launch of the game we can expect to learn a little more about the new tracks on offer for this game, but it’s important to remember that you won’t be limited exclusively to the new songs on offer. With theJust Dance+subscription, you’ll be able to revisit songs throughoutJust Dancehistory to replay any of your older favorites, but it’s important to remember that this is a separate charge to the baseJust Dance 2024game.
Fortunately, each copy ofJust Dance 2024comes with a free trial forJust Dance+ for one month, giving you access to an additional 200 songs and in-game events we are yet to learn more about, but there’s enough time for you to test it out before deciding whether or not you want to commit to subscribing.
Just Dance 2024 story and setting
The main aim ofJust Dancegames is to get you up and moving, so there isn’t much of a ‘story’ besides having some fun with friends. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a significant drive to keep playingJust Dancetitles.
Just Dance 2024introduces a new level of competition to the franchise now it has become an all-online entertainment platform, so you’ll be able to connect with your friends both onJust Dance 2024orJust Dance 2023to compete for the highest score and play together online. In addition, there will be seasonal events with new songs and a dedicated progression track to work through for a limited time.
But even though there isn’t much of a story toJust Dancegames, a lot of detail goes into creating individual settings for each song to really help set the scene and get you into the mindset to bust some moves. Songs taken from movies, like a lot of the Disney songs featured, will have matching environments and characters to dance alongside, whereas other tunes will set their own stories that play in the background while you play.
We don’t know a whole lot about the track list and the accompanying universes forJust Dance 2024yet, but we do know that there will be entirely new universes and characters for each new song we encounter within the game, leaving a lot to explore once we finally have a more solid idea on the track list for the game.
