Just Dance Switch 2 players can finally hit the dance floor. Just Dance: Decades of Hits is available on Nintendo Switch 2 today, November 10, 2026, bringing the newest entry in Ubisoft’s dance series to Nintendo’s latest console. The game launched on other platforms on October 13, and now Switch 2 owners can join the party, with a free upgrade for players who already own the game on the original Nintendo Switch.

Decades of Hits is exactly what the title promises. The game packs more than 40 songs spanning six decades of music, from the 1960s right through to the 2020s, and every track comes with its own choreography, its own visual style and its own mood. It is a celebration of pop music history as much as it is a dance game, and it is built for living rooms, parties and anyone who has ever wanted to dance along to a song they love.

Just Dance Switch 2: Six Decades of Hits

The tracklist is the heart of Just Dance Switch 2, and Decades of Hits covers a lot of ground. The songs span six decades, so there is something for every generation in the same room. Older players will recognise the classics, younger players will know the modern hits, and the game turns that mix into a shared experience. The screenshots from Ubisoft show dancers performing to ABBA’s “Mamma Mia” and Bad Bunny’s “NuevaYol”, which gives you a sense of just how wide the range is.

Each song in the game is a full production. The choreography is designed to be fun rather than punishing, the visuals are bright and colourful, and the game is at its best when a group of friends is taking turns, competing for the high score and laughing at each other’s moves. That has always been the Just Dance formula, and Decades of Hits does not try to reinvent it. It just gives players more of it, with a tracklist that leans on nostalgia as much as on the charts.

A Free Upgrade for Switch Owners

The headline for Nintendo players is the upgrade path. Anyone who already owns Just Dance: Decades of Hits on Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version at no extra cost, using the same game and the same purchase. That is a generous move from Ubisoft, and it means the Switch 2 version is not a second purchase for existing players. It is a free step up to the newest hardware.

The Switch 2 version is the same game that launched on October 13, so players who have already been dancing on other platforms will know what to expect. The difference is the platform itself. Nintendo Switch 2 is where a lot of families play together, and Just Dance has always been a family game first. Bringing the newest entry to Switch 2, on the same day as its wider launch window, keeps the series where its audience is.

Beyond the base tracklist, the game offers more ways to keep dancing. Just Dance+ is included as a 10-hour trial, opening up a larger library of songs for players who want to go beyond the core setlist. The Just Dance 2026 Edition song pack is also available as an add-on, bringing the newest tracks into the game. For players who want the full experience, there is plenty to explore after the first 40 songs.

Why Just Dance Switch 2 Matters

Just Dance has been a fixture of the gaming calendar for well over a decade, and it remains one of the few series that is genuinely built for everyone. It does not ask for fast reflexes or deep knowledge of gaming. It asks you to move, to have fun and to enjoy the music. That accessibility is why it has survived so many console generations, and why a Switch 2 version matters.

The Switch 2 has been building its library steadily since launch, and a new Just Dance is the kind of game that broadens a console’s appeal. It is a game for parties, for families, for fitness and for anyone who wants a reason to get off the sofa. With a free upgrade for existing Switch owners and a tracklist that spans six decades, Just Dance: Decades of Hits is an easy recommendation for Nintendo players.
