A great value proposition just got a little worse.
A week after announcing a new strategy that included the cancellation of six games, the delay of seven more, and the restructuring of Ubisoft developers into five creative houses, the publisher has announced it will increase the price of its Just Dance+ subscription service come April.
“Over the past few months, the Just Dance team has looked at how Just Dance+ evolves, and how we can continue to support it in a way that feels both meaningful and sustainable for players,” reads an update from Ubisoft.
“Just Dance+ is built around music, and that comes with some important truths. Every song available in the service relies on licensing agreements that evolve over time, and these conditions directly affect what we can keep, renew, or add to the catalogue. Taking this into account, we’ve had to make a few adjustments to ensure the service can keep growing in the long run.”
Citing the addition of songs from Just Dance 2023 and Just Dance 2024 editions, the pricing of Just Dance+ itself will increase starting in April (though new songs will be added beginning 17 February). Pricing details from April are as follows:
- 1-month subscription: Changes from $5.95 AUD to $7.95 AUD (33% increase)
- 3-month subscription: Changes from $14.95 AUD to $18.95 AUD (26% increase)
- 12-month subscription: Changes from to $37.45 AUD to $44.95 AUD (20% increase)
New maps and camera controller support for 2023 and 2024 songs will also head to the subscription service in time.
While I loved the latest Just Dance — its 2026 Edition, to be specific — I wasn’t crazy about the pricing of Just Dance+ even then, saying it made more sense to buy special editions of the game whenever the urge to boogie caught your fancy. Now, that advice is offered with even greater strength.
As per Ubisoft’s latest update, the Just Dance team will sit within what the publisher has called “Creative House 5”. That house will be responsible for “casual and family-friendly games” including Just Dance, Idle Miner Tycoon, Ketchapp, Hungry Shark, Invincible: Guarding the Globe, and Uno.

Just Dance+ is available on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS5, and Switch. The latest base game, Just Dance 2026, is also available on those same platforms.
