Phoenix 2 is the 18th worldwide arcade installment in the Pump It Up series, which debuted in 1999 and remains one of the amusement industry’s most recognized and durable dance simulation brands. The new software builds on the Phoenix generation introduced in 2023 and expanded through the major Phoenix 2024 update, while adding a striking electric-green visual identity, new music, updated interface elements and expanded connectivity with Pump It Up: R!SE, Andamiro’s official PC adaptation now available through Steam.

 

Music remains central to Pump It Up, and Phoenix 2 amplifies the series with more than 600 songs, including new K-pop selections, original tracks and compositions from leading rhythm-game artists. Among the many featured titles are IVE’s “BANG BANG,” ILLIT’s “Do the Dance,” MAX’s “B3,” Laur’s “Legendary Dominion,” xi’s “FREEDOM DiVE” and “QUATTUORUX” by D-D-Dice vs. Tanchiky vs. Karameru. The new song list continues Pump It Up’s tradition of blending popular music, World Music and original compositions curated for rhythm-action gameplay.

 

Phoenix 2 also introduces an all-new Note Timing command menu, improves the user-interface and renews Pumbility, the game’s player rating and ranking system. The updated interface displays song titles in real time for a smoother player experience, while the redesigned rating balance is intended to provide a more rewarding challenge. “Pumbility,” a term derived from Pump It Up and ability, is the sum of the top 50 highest-rated songs in a player’s history.

 

Phoenix 2 software ships in Andamiro’s contemporary Pump It Up cabinet, equipped with two side-by-side dance stages, known as the LX 55″ model. Phoenix is also available in upgrade packages that are compatible with existing LX (55″) cabinets, along with legacy TX (55”), CX (43”) and FX (42”) cabinets.

 

Phoenix 2 eliminates USB for login, UCS (user custom steps) and version updates, so players need only rely on AM.PASS to administer these features.  for information on registering an AM.PASS account.
