The free Just Dance Controller App enables players on Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U to use their Apple, Android, or Windows Phone devices to play the game without any peripherals or added console cameras. The app transforms the player’s phone into a motion sensor that tracks the accuracy of their moves and allows them to navigate through the game.
Starting this year, Just Dance Unlimited is a new subscription streaming service available for newgen owners, allowing players on Just Dance 2016 to access exclusive songs and the best tracks from previous Just Dance games. By subscribing to Just Dance Unlimited, players will have the chance to enjoy more than 150 songs at launch and further tracks throughout the year.
The new Showtime mode will allow players to unleash their inner star by creating unique music videos of themselves performing. Players lip-sync and perform along to hit songs in the game and the video footage is then turned into a fun shareable music video. The music videos pull in both creative visual elements and pop cultural references— each song will have a distinctive and visually original atmosphere. Showtime will be available on Nintendo’s Wii U , Xbox One, and PS4. A Kinect for Xbox One, PlayStation Camera or WiiU Gamepad is required to play this mode.
