Which Just Dance game was the first to offer downloadable content?

The story behind the answer

Just Dance 2 was the first Just Dance game to offer downloadable content.

Released in 2010 for the Wii, Just Dance 2 expanded Ubisoft’s dance-game formula with a larger soundtrack, duet routines, new presentation features, and downloadable songs. Its DLC catalogue included tracks such as Estelle’s “American Boy,” Blondie’s “Call Me,” and Steppenwolf’s “Born to Be Wild.” Players could obtain additional routines through the Wii Shop Channel using Wii Points.

This distinction matters because later games made downloadable content much more prominent, with songs arriving regularly across Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. Just Dance 3 and Just Dance 4 are therefore easy to confuse with the series’ DLC milestone, but they continued a feature that Just Dance 2 had already introduced.

The original DLC is no longer purchasable through the Wii Shop Channel, which closed in 2019. Some songs were later included on compilations such as Just Dance: Summer Party, allowing players to access parts of that early downloadable catalogue without the original online store.
