Free Upgrade

Players can sort songs by playlist as well as artist, title or difficulty level.

To make connecting and using Dance Praise easier, the new software upgrade allows the game's dance pad to be plugged in anytime before or while the game is turned on. The difficulty level and two-player mode displays are easier to understand as well.
