Just Dance: Decades of Hits has arrived on Nintendo Switch 2, giving the family another opportunity to discover who has rhythm and who should probably stick to selecting the songs. Ubisoft’s latest dance game launched on the console on 10 November, following its original release on 13 October.

The useful bit for existing players is that the Switch 2 upgrade is free if you already own the Nintendo Switch version. Nintendo confirms you’ll need an internet connection to download the update, so there’s no need to buy the same dance floor twice.

Six Decades of Questionable Living-Room Moves

Decades of Hits brings together 35 songs spanning six musical decades, from disco favourites to recent pop hits. The selection includes Mamma Mia by ABBA, It’s Tricky by Run DMC, Wannabe by Spice Girls and NUEVAYoL by Bad Bunny, which should give several generations an opportunity to insist their music was better.

Up to six players can dance together locally, with smartphone controller support available. Party Mode changes the rules between rounds, while Workout Mode offers another reason to move the coffee table somewhere safer before getting started.

A Dance Through Time

The new Adventure Mode follows Lyra as she travels through six decade-themed worlds to rescue her father, Dr. Gigavolt. Along the way there are songs to dance to, mini-activities and rewards to unlock, giving the experience a story to follow between routines.

According to Ubisoft’s launch announcement, players who also own Just Dance 2023–2026 editions can access their songs together on the same console. Purchased Music Packs and songs covered by an active Just Dance+ subscription are included in that shared experience.

You can watch the official Switch 2 trailer or visit the Just Dance: Decades of Hits website for more details. Stretching beforehand remains entirely your decision, although the sofa is unlikely to offer much sympathy afterwards.
