Get ready to hit the dance floor! Just Dance: Decades of Hits is now available on Xbox Series X|S, bringing decades of iconic music, colorful visuals, and choreography together in one feel-good gaming experience. Whether you're a fan of disco classics, '80s pop, '90s anthems, or today's chart-toppers, the game offers a soundtrack designed to get everyone moving.

With local multiplayer for up to six players, using smartphones as controllers, the game is a natural fit for family gatherings, parties, and nights with friends.

The game brings together familiar favorites and modern hits, with songs including:

- “Mamma Mia” by ABBA
- “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel
- “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls
- “Stronger” by Britney Spears
- “Turn Down for What” by DJ Snake and Lil Jon
- “HOT TO GO!” by Chappell Roan

Each track features its own choreography, visual style, and personality, helping players experience how music and dance have changed through the decades.

To explore the creative process behind the game, we spoke with Choreography Director Estelle Manas about bringing different musical eras to life through movement. Manas explains that every decade has its own dance identity. The '70s emphasized accessible moves, personal style, and groove, while the '80s saw choreography become increasingly prominent through television, music videos, and live performances.

The rise of hip-hop and pop helped establish distinctive dance styles, while artists such as Madonna used movement to express individuality and challenge expectations. For the song “Jump,” the team wanted to capture the extravagant, confident energy associated with rock stars. As music evolved, dance incorporated an increasingly diverse mix of influences, including Dancehall, K-pop, New Style, and Street Jazz. Choreography became more than a series of steps: it developed into a form of self-expression.

That variety, Manas says, is what makes creating a game that spans multiple decades so rewarding.

For Just Dance: Decades of Hits, the creative team wanted each era to feel distinctive beyond its soundtrack. Costumes, character designs, visual environments, and choreography all contribute to the atmosphere. The team researched older music videos and television performances to capture the spirit of each period while adding the playful, colorful identity that defines Just Dance.

The result is designed to make switching between songs feel like traveling through time. Players don't simply hear how music has changed; they experience those changes through movement, style, and attitude.

One of the series' defining strengths is its ability to bring different generations together. Manas says accessibility remains central to the development process, with intuitive routines designed to welcome newcomers regardless of age or dance experience. Players looking for a bigger challenge can choose intermediate, advanced, and extreme difficulty levels. The game also features a wide variety of characters, settings, dance styles, and emotions to help players feel represented.

Accessibility extends to the choreography itself, with seated routines that allow people with limited mobility to participate. The goal is to make dancing together enjoyable while giving experienced players room to develop their skills.

With years of songs and routines behind the franchise, the team continues to look for ways to expand its creative range. According to Manas, the variety of backgrounds among the game's choreographers and dancers is a major source of inspiration. Each contributor brings a different movement style, technical skill, and performance approach to the project.

This year, the team pushed the boundaries further by creating a dance map featuring five coaches for the first time.

When asked which song she is most excited for players to experience, Manas highlighted several favorites but singled out the Spice Girls' “Wannabe.” Creating the routine was particularly enjoyable because it allowed the team to capture the individual personalities and energy of each Spice Girl. The choreography brings those differences to life through five distinct coaches, encouraging players to try out every character.

It's a fitting choice for a game built around self-expression, shared memories, and music that connects generations.

With its mix of classic hits, contemporary pop, flexible difficulty settings, and multiplayer fun, Just Dance: Decades of Hits aims to make dancing accessible to everyone, whether they're seasoned players or picking up a controller for the first time.

Just Dance: Decades of Hits is available now on Xbox Series X|S, offering a musical journey through the decades that players can enjoy alone, with family, or with friends.
