Just Dance Now: Coming Soon to LG Smart TVs

Utilizing the LG Magic Remote

In an exciting collaboration, LG and Ubisoft are preparing to launch the interactive rhythm game, Just Dance Now, on LG Smart TVs. Scheduled for its December release, the game will be accessible to users in the US and Europe through the LG Gaming Portal, provided their devices are running on webOS 22 or newer. Notably, this setup requires no additional purchases of new hardware.

When it first debuted in 2014 as a smartphone app for iOS and Android, Just Dance Now served those who preferred gaming without a console. A year afterward, it expanded to Apple TV. This spinoff of the main series boasts an extensive collection of songs spanning numerous eras, which users can enjoy daily for free within a set duration. For enthusiasts seeking more dance time, Ubisoft offers subscription plans and optional song packs for purchase.

A New Experience with LG Gaming Portal

The initial version of the game was crafted to use smartphones as controllers, akin to how the Wii Remote was employed in the series' first iteration back in 2009. With the game’s integration into the LG Gaming Portal, the LG Magic Remote takes over as the motion-sensing controller, thus eliminating the need for extra gaming equipment.

As part of its rollout strategy, Ubisoft plans a beta version of Just Dance Now before the full release in December. This will allow players to access three songs initially, followed by one song per day during a two-week trial period. Specifics about the beta’s commencement are yet to be disclosed by Ubisoft.

LG Gaming Portal: A Rising Contender

The LG Gaming Portal is increasingly establishing itself as a significant alternative for casual gaming enthusiasts. Since April, the platform has included the cloud-based version of Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, an enhanced GeForce NOW app was introduced, providing support for game streaming up to 4K 120Hz on LG TVs, a development that occurred a few months prior.
