What Just Dance+ costs and includes

Just Dance+ is a monthly subscription service run by Ubisoft that gives you access to a library of songs and dance routines in the Just Dance video game series. You pay a monthly fee — currently $9.99 per month in the United States, though this varies by region and may change — and get unlimited access to the catalog for as long as your subscription is active.

The subscription includes new songs added regularly, usually several times per month. You also get access to routines across different difficulty levels, from beginner to expert, and can use the service on compatible devices: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. You do not need to own a physical copy of Just Dance to use Just Dance+; the subscription is the only purchase required.

When your subscription ends, your access stops. You lose the ability to play the songs and routines included with the subscription, though any songs you purchased separately outside the subscription remain playable if you own the base game.

Key Takeaways

  • Just Dance+ costs $9.99 per month in the US and requires a compatible gaming console to use.
  • The subscription includes hundreds of songs and routines updated regularly, but access ends when you cancel or stop paying.
  • You need either a subscription or a base game copy to play; the subscription alone does not include the game software itself on most platforms.
  • A free trial period is sometimes offered by Ubisoft or through console subscription services, so check current promotions before paying.

What devices work with Just Dance+

Just Dance+ works on five gaming platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. You need one of these consoles and a compatible controller to play. The subscription does not work on mobile phones, tablets, computers, or streaming devices like Roku or Fire TV.

On Nintendo Switch, you can use Joy-Con controllers or a single Joy-Con held sideways. On PlayStation and Xbox, you use the standard controller for that system. Some routines also work with motion controllers or other input methods, but the standard controller is the baseline requirement.

Your subscription is tied to your Ubisoft account, not to a specific console. If you have multiple consoles, you can sign in with the same Ubisoft account on each one and use your subscription on all of them, as long as you are the person playing or the account holder has given permission.

How to start a Just Dance+ subscription

You can start a subscription directly through Ubisoft's website or through your gaming console's store. On your console, go to the Just Dance game or the Just Dance+ app, select the subscription option, and follow the prompts to pay. You will need a valid payment method — a credit card, debit card, or console-specific payment account like PlayStation Network funds or Xbox Game Pass credit.

Ubisoft also offers Just Dance+ as part of some bundle deals or promotional periods. Check the official Just Dance website or your console's store to see if a free trial is currently running. Free trials typically last seven to fourteen days and convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Once you subscribe, you can start playing immediately. Your Ubisoft account will show your subscription status, and you can manage it from your account settings on Ubisoft.com or through your console's subscription management page.

How to cancel or pause your subscription

You can cancel your Just Dance+ subscription at any time through your Ubisoft account on Ubisoft.com or through your console's subscription settings. On most consoles, go to your account settings, find subscriptions or recurring payments, locate Just Dance+, and select cancel. The process takes a few minutes and does not require you to contact customer support.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until your next billing date, then lose access when that date arrives. You will not receive a refund for the unused portion of the month.

Ubisoft does not offer a pause feature for Just Dance+. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and then resubscribe later. When you resubscribe, you regain access to the full catalog.

Comparing Just Dance+ to owning the game outright

Just Dance+ is a subscription model, meaning you pay monthly for access. The alternative is to buy a physical or digital copy of a Just Dance game — the most recent version typically costs $40 to $60 — and then purchase individual songs as add-ons if you want more content beyond what comes with the base game.

With a purchased game, you own the base content permanently and can play it even if you stop paying for anything else. However, you do not get new songs automatically; you either buy them individually or wait for sales. Just Dance+ gives you hundreds of songs included in one monthly fee, so the subscription is usually cheaper if you play regularly and want frequent new content.

If you play Just Dance only occasionally or want to try it before committing to a subscription, buying a single game copy and a few add-on songs might cost less over time. If you play weekly or want access to the largest song library, Just Dance+ is typically the better value.

Technical requirements and internet connection

Just Dance+ requires an active internet connection to verify your subscription and download new songs. You do not need internet to play songs you have already downloaded, but you need it to access the full catalog and to add new routines to your console.

Your console must have enough storage space to download songs. The amount varies depending on how many songs you download, but most consoles have sufficient space for hundreds of routines. If you run low on storage, you can delete songs and re-download them later.

Your Ubisoft account must be in good standing — meaning your payment method is valid and your subscription is current — to access the service. If your payment fails, you will lose access until the payment is resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Just Dance+ on multiple consoles at the same time?

You can use your subscription on multiple consoles, but only one person can play at a time across all your consoles. If you want multiple people to play simultaneously on different consoles, each person needs their own subscription or you need to own separate game copies.

Do I need PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass to use Just Dance+?

No. Just Dance+ is a separate subscription from console-level services like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass. You pay Ubisoft directly for Just Dance+, and it works independently of those services. However, some console subscription services occasionally include Just Dance+ as a bonus, so check your current membership details.

What happens to my songs if I cancel the subscription?

Songs included with Just Dance+ become unplayable once your subscription ends. Any songs you purchased separately outside the subscription remain playable if you own the base game. If you resubscribe later, you regain access to the full Just Dance+ catalog.

Is there a family plan or discount for multiple people?

Ubisoft does not offer a family plan for Just Dance+. Each person who wants access needs their own subscription. However, if multiple people in your household share a console and take turns playing, one subscription covers all of them.

Can I refund my subscription if I change my mind?

Refund policies vary by region and payment method. Contact Ubisoft support or your console's customer service to request a refund within a few days of purchase. Most refunds are granted only if you have not used the service significantly or if there was a billing error.
