Dance Dance Revolution X3 (ダンスダンスレボリューションX3?, Dansu Dansu Reboryūshon Ekkusu Surī), sometimes abbreviated DDR X3 or simply X3, is a music video game, and a part of the Dance Dance Revolution series. The arcade version of DDR X3 was revealed by Konami on June 2, 2011. A sequel to Dance Dance Revolution X2, X3 began public beta testing on June 8, 2011. Promotional information for the game reveal the full name for the game, called DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMix (ダンスダンスレボリューションX3バーサスセカンドミックス?, Dansu Dansu Reboryūshon Ekkusu Surī Bāsasu SekandoMikkusu) due to the new "2ndMix" mode in the game. It is released in Japan on November 16, 2011 for dedicated cabinet, November 30, 2011 for upgrade kits, and December 16, 2011 in Asia.

Development on X3 began shortly after X2 was released. From June 8 to June 10, 2011, a location test was held in Akihabara, Tokyo. This location test revealed new songs and other features. These features include the new Target Score and BEMANI folders. The menu screens also got an update; they are now blue instead of green. Other enhancements to the theme were also made, such as the animation of the background (these animations are very similar to the one used on Dance Dance Revolution II). Konami also announced that there will be a new 2ndMIX mode, where the player can play a full HD version of DDR 2ndMIX.
