On February 28, 2023, the "All Stars" mode was taken offline, making the code method the only option to unlock "High Hopes".

Starting from Season 7, the Sweat Mode is removed and it's instead replaced with an optional built-in kCal tracker shown below the player's name.

The following songs appear on Just Dance 2020:[10][11][12] Kris Wu's "Big Bowl Thick Noodle" (also known as "Da Wan Kuan Mian") was included in initial pressings of the Chinese version of the game, but was removed shortly after its alternate version was released on China's Just Dance Unlimited servers due to sexual assault allegations against the artist.

[13][14] Following this, Phoenix Legend's "Coolest Ethnic" (also known as "Zui Xun Min Zu Feng"), which was previously exclusive to China's Just Dance Unlimited servers from February 5, 2021, was made available for free indefinitely.

Just Dance Unlimited continues to be offered on 2020 for eighth-generation consoles, featuring a streaming library of new and existing songs.
