Ubisoft announced that as a result of licensing constraints, some songs are going to be removed from Just Dance Now on April 9. This may be sad news but it's only affecting new subscriptions. That's not all since these same songs are being removed from Just Dance Unlimited on August 1. In addition, this service won't be available for purchase on Just Dance 2019 starting July 1.
That's not all since from July 1, players on PlayStation and Xbox consoles won't be able to buy a subscription to Just Dance Unlimited. For those who already have a pass which expires after this date, the service remains active until the subscription expires.

Now there's a silver lining to all of these, sort of. The Just Dance+ song catalogue won't be affected by all of these. Just Dance+ is the dance-on-demand subscription service available with Just Dance 2023 and Just Dance 2024. A free one-month trial of Just Dance+ is part of the Just Dance 2024 Edition. Just Dance+ gives players access to hundreds of tracks, including fan-favorite legacy songs from previous Just Dance games, and new exclusive tracks each season.
