Which Just Dance installment first released on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S?

Just Dance 2021 was the first Just Dance installment released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The game initially launched on November 12, 2020, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Stadia. Its ninth-generation console versions followed on November 24, 2020, when Just Dance 2021 became available for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

That timing can cause confusion because Just Dance 2023 Edition is often associated with the newer consoles. Just Dance 2023 Edition was released only for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, but it arrived two years after Just Dance 2021 and therefore was not the first entry on those platforms.

Just Dance 2021 was also notable for being developed during the year E3 was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than receiving a conventional E3 announcement, it was unveiled during a Nintendo Direct Mini presentation in August 2020. The game retained the series’ familiar choreography-based format while expanding its platform reach to the new console generation.
