Just Dance 2020 is a dance rhythm game developed by Ubisoft. It was unveiled on June 10, 2019, during its E3 press conference as the eleventh main installment of the series,[1] in celebration of the Just Dance series' 10th anniversary, and released on November 5, 2019 for Nintendo Switch, Wii, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia.[2][3] It was also the first game in the series to be released on Stadia. The game was exclusively released on the Nintendo Switch in Japan on March 12, 2020,[4] and in China on December 24, 2020.[5]

Just Dance 2020 was the final Wii video game released physically in North America. It was reported in 2020 that Nintendo of America was no longer able to physically distribute Wii video games in that region because some of its departments no longer had the ability to retrieve necessary equipment to do so.[6] Consequently, this is the final video game in the main Just Dance series released on the Wii console, the platform where the series made its debut in 2009.

Gameplay[]

Further information: Gameplay of the Just Dance series

As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen dancer's choreography to a chosen song using either motion controllers or the game's associated smartphone app (except on Wii).

Its user interface and features are largely identical to 2019, although with the addition of a new "All Stars" mode commemorating the franchise's 10th anniversary (which features a playlist of 10 songs representing past editions of the game, as well as a track from this year's edition).[7]
