Just Dance 2022 is the thirteenth game in the main Just Dance series.[7]

The game was revealed on June 12, 2021, as part of the Ubisoft Forward showcase at E3 2021. The game was released on November 4, 2021.

The game is offered in three different editions: a standard edition; a Deluxe Edition, which comes with a three-month subscription to Just Dance Unlimited; and an Ultimate Edition, which comes with a one-year subscription to Just Dance Unlimited.[7]

This is the final installment released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia (before its closure on January 18, 2023), the final installment to support PlayStation Move and camera devices and the last known game overall to support Kinect.

Gameplay and Features

  • Quickplay Mode: Get straight to playing with a randomized playlist ready from the Start menu.
  • Co-op Mode: Team up with friends to combine scores to rule the dance floor.
  • World Dance Floor: Challenge fellow Just Dancers from all over the world in these exciting tournaments. You will be matched with players of a similar level as yours for a fair dance battle.
  • Sweat Mode: Start your own routine and keep yourself motivated by tracking calories burnt and time spent dancing.[8]
  • Kids Mode: Eight routines made specifically for kids.[9]

Use the free Just Dance Controller App, available on iOS 10 and Android 5.0,[1] to play the game on any platform and track scores for up to six players without any additional accessories needed.[8]

Menu and Design

The menu is very similar in appearance to Just Dance 2021. The pixelated texture has been removed and the colored parts now appear in solid colors instead of gradients.

Likewise, the Profile tab from Just Dance 2021 has returned. However, the sticker album is not present this time. Additionally, the Gift Machine now appears in a purple galaxy print design and rewards players with avatars, aliases and skins. Due to the omission of the sticker album, stickers are no longer offered through the Gift Machine.

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series

Content descriptors: Comic Mischief, Lyrics, Mild Suggestive Themes

Other: Users Interact, In-Game Purchases (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, Stadia, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5)

Rating Summary: This is a music-rhythm dancing game in which players perform choreographed routines by following the movements of on-screen characters. Players score points by accurately moving their bodies in time to the music and scrolling indicators. A handful of dances include provocative poses and exaggerated hip movements.In one sequence, a bear is depicted sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper. Some song lyrics contain references to suggestive material (e.g., “Loosen up my buttons babe...But I canʼt seem to get you/Over here to help take this off”; “Thereʼs a stranger in my bed...This a hickie or a bruise?”) and alcohol (e.g., “...drink/Throw ʻem back ʻtil I lose count”; “Kick back gang sippinʼ fourties”; “I smell like a minibar/DJʼs passed out in the yard...Itʼs a blacked out blur”).

PEGI Rating

Category: 3

Content Descriptors: In-Game Purchases

Outline & Issues: Dancing game in which players learn to perform dance steps by following the dancing coaches on screen. Some of the music videos contain very mild scary images, such as a dancer dressed as an alien and a crow with red eyes. This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, in the form of a subscription to 'Just Dance Unlimited', which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. This subscription allows the streaming of additional songs from previous 'Just Dance' games. Parents, carers or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child. It should be noted that the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.

Reception

According to Metacritic, Just Dance 2022 received mixed to positive reviews. The Nintendo Switch version of the game received a Metascore of 72 from critics while the Xbox Series X version received an 83.[15][16] Critics praised the improved visuals while some criticized the similarities to previous games.[15][16] The other versions of the game did not receive sufficient reviews from critics to get a Metascore; however, the PlayStation 5 version of the game received overwhelmingly negative reviews from users due to not supporting the PS Camera despite the PS4 version being playable on the PS5 with the camera.[17]
