Just a week after Ubisoft announced<\/a> it was making a huge amount of cuts and cancellations in order to aid efficiency and corporate restructuring, the French studio has confirmed it will be increasing the price of Just Dance+ subscriptions from April 2026.<\/p>\n

The streaming service, which launched back in November 2022, can be used in-game from Just Dance 2023 Edition<\/a> onward, and gives you access to even more songs from the series’ back-catalogue.<\/p>\n

But that’ll come at a steeper cost from, with monthly prices rising by $1 a month, 3-month passes going up $3, and a year’s pass costing an extra $5. Here’s a rundown of the before and after:<\/p>\n

1 Month Pass: $4.99 \/ 4,99\u20ac (previously $3.99 \/ 3,99\u20ac)
\n3 Month Pass: $12.99 \/ 12,99\u20ac (previously $9.99 \/ 9,99\u20ac)
\n12 Month Pass: $29.99 \/ 29,99\u20ac (previously $24.99 \/ 24,99\u20ac)<\/p>\n

Sure, new content is coming in the form of more songs, some of which are available from today, including ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Katrina & The Waves, ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears, and ‘Dynamite’ by BTS. A second batch lands on 10th February 2026.<\/p>\n

But the timing isn’t great timing, especially in the aftermath of last week’s news<\/a>, which saw six games \u2014 including the long-in-development Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake<\/a> \u2014 get cancelled, studios get closed down, and restructuring at various offices. All in aid of a live-service push, specialisations, and investments in generative AI.<\/p>\n

Since then, a Rayman 30th Anniversary rating has appeared<\/a> (which is potentially being handled by Atari), but it doesn’t look rosy. According to IGN<\/a>, the Paris headquarters are looking at a cost-reduction initiative, including a voluntary redundancy process, with French union Solidaires Informatique reportedly planning more action following a call to strike last week (via GamesIndustry.biz<\/a>).<\/p>\n
