What Is Crossplay?

Crossplay, also known as cross-platform play, is a popular functionality in gaming that allows users to play with their friends or family members on different platforms.

For example, one user may own the game on PC and be able to play with their friend who owns the game on a PlayStation console. The feature has become incredibly popular in recent years, allowing friends to purchase whichever console they like without the concern of not being able to play with friends.

However, not every game supports cross-platform play. Will the latest instalment in the Just Dance series have any form of crossplay enabled at launch?

Does Just Dance 2022 Have Online Multiplayer and Crossplay?

Just Dance 2022 supports online multiplayer through the returning 'World Dance Floor' mode. However, you won't be able to link up with your friends as the mode will randomly place you with other players from around the world.

World Dance Floor will have 3 separate modes available to play:

  • Chill Panda is for casual players who play ocasionally.
  • Fabulous Hippo is for players familiar with Just Dance and the World Dance Floor.
  • Fierce Deer is for advanced competitive players who play often.

So, what about crossplay? As mentioned previously, you won't be able to play with your friends online, even if they're on the same platform as you. But the 'World Dance Floor' mode is cross-platform, meaning you could be placed against players on other platforms.

More details on the Just Dance Multiplayer mode can be found on the Ubisoft website.
