Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: A PS5 Release on the Horizon?
Reports suggest Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, developed by MachineGames, is slated for a PlayStation 5 release in the first half of 2025. This follows the game's anticipated launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year.
Industry Insights Point to a PS5 Launch
Industry insider Nate the Hate, known for accurate leaks regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategies, claims the title will be a timed Xbox console exclusive for the 2024 holiday season, with a subsequent PS5 release in early 2025. Insider Gaming corroborates this, mentioning that several media outlets have received this information under NDA.
Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy
This potential PS5 release aligns with Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Previous reports from The Verge indicated that Microsoft and Bethesda were considering broader releases for major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, despite initial exclusivity deals. The "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, which brought titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to other platforms, further supports this shift.
