Dance Central was released exclusively for the Xbox 360 and was a launch title for its Kinect peripheral.

A direct sequel to the previous game, Dance Central 2 was officially announced at E3 2011 during Microsoft's press conference and was released in October of that year.

Unlike previous installments, it is distributed digitally via the Xbox Games Store; the initial purchase includes 10 songs, with additional songs available as downloadable content on a near-monthly basis.

Announced at PAX East 2019 for the Oculus Rift, it was released on April 30, 2019, as a launch title for the Quest and Rift S. Unlike previous instalments, it's a virtual reality title that allows head and hand movement, using the headset and Oculus Touch controllers.

The tracklist contains 32 songs as well as avatar customization and online multiplayer lounges.
