Bottom Line
Accessible phone-mic karaoke and flexible vocal guides make group singing genuinely fun. The 35-song base playlist and short Party mode leave too much variety riding on the paid VIP Pass.
Friends and families planning living-room karaoke, especially groups who value duets, easy phone-mic setup and vocal assistance. Solo score chasers also have worthwhile challenges.
Players who expect a large permanent song library for one purchase, groups wanting robust online play, or Xbox-only households. Those seeking a substantial new story campaign may also be disappointed.
Verdict
Let’s Sing 2027 succeeds where it matters most: putting friends and family in front of a screen and getting everyone singing. USB microphones and smartphone input make setup easy, while adjustable lead vocals let nervous performers keep a safety net or try fully instrumental karaoke. Classic and Feat remain dependable highlights, and the visual presentation and customizable avatars add personality. The new Soundtown Party mode introduces playful interruptions to familiar songs, but its six-song run and two-player limit make it a diversion rather than a compelling new centerpiece. Opinions split on how substantial this annual update feels, and one test reported difficulty registering low notes. More troubling is the music library: 35 included tracks suit a single get-together, yet much of the wider selection requires a recurring VIP Pass that may change over time. It is an enjoyable party game with a meaningful long-term cost caveat.

Pros highlights
-
Compatible USB microphones and smartphones both serve as inputs, making it easy to assemble a group without buying a bundle. Lower-quality devices can track pitch less consistently.
-
Using a smartphone as a microphone makes setup quick and welcoming, even without dedicated accessories. Some pitch-tracking performance depends on the quality of the chosen device.
-
Phone microphones and clear singing prompts make the game quick to start with little preparation. The setup is geared toward casual gatherings.
-
Adjustable guide vocals and forgiving scoring help hesitant singers find a comfortable level of support. The extra options are among the most widely appreciated improvements.
-
Choose the original artist, reduced guide vocals, or an instrumental track. The added control helps singers balance reassurance with a more exposed karaoke performance.
-
Classic and Feat make local group sessions lively, supporting up to four singers. The newer Party mode accommodates fewer people, interrupting the flow of larger gatherings.
Cons highlights
-
The 35 included songs and brief Party campaign can feel thin across repeat sessions. Much of the musical range remains behind the VIP Pass.
-
Soundtown introduces challenges such as missing prompts and a playful DJ Hush setup. Some find the variations welcome, while others consider the mode short and superficial.
-
The bigger library is tied to ongoing VIP Pass payments, drawing repeated criticism about value and music ownership. Temporary access and catalog turnover are recurring worries.
-
The base game offers an entertaining party foundation, but many desirable tracks require the additional VIP Pass. One account also raises questions about purchase setup requirements.
-
Vocal backing choices, cosmetics, and Soundtown introduce some worthwhile refinements. Opinions differ on whether they amount to meaningful innovation for an annual sequel.
-
The familiar karaoke framework changes little, even with Soundtown and updated vocal options. Some find that reassuring, while others want more genuine invention.
Use Cases
Best for
-
For living-room gatherings, simple input options and shared singing quickly turn a room into a karaoke night. Song choice and Party mode’s two-player cap can affect larger groups.
-
Four singers can perform locally in the main modes, and smartphone mics lower setup costs. The reduced Party-mode capacity is the chief local-play compromise.
-
Small groups of friends are an excellent fit for Classic and Feat, which make competition and collaboration easy. The shared experience is stronger than the short Party campaign.
Not ideal for
-
Online co-op with friendsThere is no traditional online singing competition, so friends in separate homes cannot enjoy the same experience remotely. Leaderboards are a limited substitute.
-
Xbox ecosystem gamingThis edition is not available on Xbox, making it unsuitable for anyone who plans to play solely within that console ecosystem.

Compared in Reviews
Products reviewers directly compared with this model, grouped into quick takeaways.
Let’s Sing ABBA (2026)
- Compared: playlist focus, mode count and party capacity Let’s Sing 2027 favors contemporary chart karaoke, whereas ABBA offers a specialized playlist and more group modes.
- Alternative: single-artist karaoke preferences The ABBA-focused re-release offers a dedicated alternative for listeners who want only ABBA songs.
Let’s Sing 2026 (2025)
- Better: included song selection The reviewer considers the 2027 base playlist less exciting than the previous edition’s standout hits.
FAQ
Do I need a special microphone?
No. Compatible USB microphones work, and the free smartphone companion app can turn a phone into a microphone. Tracking accuracy may vary with the quality of the device.
How many songs are included without an additional subscription?
The base game includes 35 songs, leaning toward contemporary pop with some older hits. A VIP Pass provides access to a much larger selection.
Is the VIP Pass worth it?
It substantially broadens the choice of classics and party favorites, but its songs require ongoing subscription access and may rotate out. The standard purchase includes a limited introductory period.
Can four people sing together?
Yes. Classic and Feat accommodate up to four local singers on the same console, while the Soundtown Party mode is limited to one or two.
What is new compared with earlier entries?
This edition adds adjustable original, reduced-guide and instrumental vocal backing, expanded cosmetic customization, and a Soundtown Party mode. Reviewers disagree over whether those changes are enough for an annual upgrade.
Can friends play karaoke together online?
The reviews report no traditional online head-to-head karaoke mode, although song leaderboards remain. Local group sessions are the main strength.
Is it suitable for children?
The ESRB rates it Teen (13+), reflecting themes and imagery in song lyrics and official videos, including suggestive content and references to alcohol or tobacco. Parents should check the song selection.
