Multiplayer and Co-op in Just Dance: Decades of Hits
How multiplayer works in Just Dance: Decades of Hits: up to six players locally, Party Mode twists, and online play options.
How many players can play Just Dance: Decades of Hits together?
Just Dance: Decades of Hits lets up to six people dance together locally on a single console, according to Ubisoft's announcement of the game. Each dancer can use a smartphone as a controller, which means nobody in the room has to buy an extra accessory to join in. A separate fan site, justdancedecadesofhits.space, states that each dancer needs their own phone running the free Just Dance Controller app on the same Wi-Fi network as the console.
Local play for up to six players
Ubisoft's official game page and its launch news post both describe local dancing for up to six people. The Nintendo store listing also lists a player count of one to six for a single system.
The official page gives a short list of songs by era to show the range of the soundtrack, including ABBA's "Mamma Mia," Run-DMC's "It's Tricky," and Bad Bunny's "NUEVAYoL." Neither Ubisoft nor Nintendo publishes how many dancers each individual routine supports. The fan guide at justdancedecadesofhits.space says the six-player option applies to the "Wannabe" routine by Spice Girls, describing it as the first five-coach routine in the series; that claim is not stated in the official material here, so treat it as the site's own account rather than a documented feature.
Party Mode and Workout Mode
Ubisoft says the game includes a Party Mode that changes the rules between rounds for "unexpected twists," and a Workout Mode for players who want to track activity. The Nintendo store page lists both modes among the game's features. The fan guide says the calorie readout in Workout Mode is per dancer, which would make that mode more useful solo or in a pair than for a full room.
Online play
The Nintendo store listing shows online play for one to six players, with online scoreboards and cross-platform play among the tags. The fan guide says online features require an account setup on the console side, including a subscription where the platform requires one for multiplayer; that detail is not spelled out on the official pages provided here.
Co-op considerations per platform
The game is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S from October 13, 2026, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version following on November 10, 2026, per Ubisoft. Ubisoft's launch post says the Switch 2 release was listed for Target at the time of the announcement.
For anything not covered above, such as exact dancer counts per song or the full requirements for online multiplayer, no official documentation appears in these sources.
