As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen coach’s choreography to a chosen song using the game's associated smartphone
app (Nintendo Switch players have the option to use the console's
Joy-Con controllers).
2024 Edition retains all of the features from
2023 Edition, but introduces new features within the
Just Dance hub, such as "Song Sharing", which allows players from any
Edition to share songs with each other. All owners of any
Edition have access to all
Just Dance+ songs and updates. Camera scoring returns to the series as a feature in the game's smartphone app that utilizes the front-facing camera, first launched as a beta for
iOS in December 2023 and
Android in June 2024, and supporting a limited number of songs from
2023 and
2024 Edition in single player mode. Custom playlists returned on June 18, 2024, the same day that Season 3: Lights Out was released. == Story mode ==
