Just Dance 2018 is a 2017 dance rhythm game developed and published by Ubisoft.

This was the last "Just Dance" game released on the PlayStation 3 console, and by extension, the final PlayStation 3 video game to be published by Ubisoft. All online services for every year-titled "Just Dance" game prior to "Just Dance 2019  on seventh-generation consoles, as well as Just Dance 2014" and "Just Dance 2015" on eighth-generation consoles, ended on November 19, 2018. Gameplay. As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen dancer's choreography to a chosen song using either motion controllers or the game's associated "Just Dance Controller" app on a smartphone. A new "Super" judgment was added between "Good" and "Perfect". The "Dance Lab" mode features medleys of choreography representing different professions and animals, while a new "Kids Mode" was designed to provide a gameplay experience and choreography tailored towards  younger players. The workout mode (now known as Fitness) and playlists have been merged into the ""Just Dance"" mode. The World Dance Floor returned as well. Previous additional modes (Dance Quests, "Just Dance" TV, Video Challenge, and "Just Dance" Machine) have been dropped. Additionally, the co-operative multiplayer gameplay (to dance as a team collecting jewels while dancing) has been removed, leaving only competitive multiplayer gameplay. The Nintendo Switch version of the game features a new "Double Rumble" mode, which features routines based on different professions that leverage the "HD Rumble" functionality in the console's Joy-Con controllers to  provide feedback.
