LG Smart TV Owners Can Get Moving with Just Dance Now
A partnership between tech giant LG and popular video game developer Ubisoft is set to bring the motion-controlled rhythm game Just Dance Now to LG Smart TVs, starting in December. The game will be available through the LG Gaming Portal, a cloud-based gaming platform that doesn't require any additional hardware.
For those who may not recall, Just Dance Now first launched as a mobile app in 2014 and later made its way to Apple TV a year later. This version of the game is designed for casual gamers without consoles, featuring a vast library of songs across decades of music that can be accessed for free for limited periods each day.
Players looking to dance their hearts out will be able to use the LG Magic Remote as a motion-sensing peripheral, eliminating the need for any extra gear. The game's creators have maintained its core design principles from earlier versions, which relied on smartphone controllers to mimic the Wii Remote experience in the original Just Dance game back in 2009.
To get ahead of the December launch, an early beta version of Just Dance Now will be available to players, offering access to three songs on the first day and one daily for the remainder of a two-week trial period. Ubisoft has yet to announce the exact release date for the beta.
LG's gaming platform is gaining momentum with its recent additions, including the cloud-based Xbox Game Pass, which joined the platform in April, and GeForce NOW, which introduced up to 4K 120Hz game streams on LG TVs a few months ago. The addition of Just Dance Now further solidifies LG Smart TVs as an attractive option for gamers looking for flexible entertainment options without breaking the bank.
