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 its anticipated launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year.
Industry Insiders Point to a PS5 Launch
Industry insider Nate the Hate, known for accurate leaks regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategies, claims the game will be a timed Xbox console exclusive for the 2024 holiday season, with a subsequent PS5 release in early 2025. This information has been corroborated by Insider Gaming, citing reports from media outlets under NDA.
Shifting Exclusivity Landscape for Xbox Titles
This potential PS5 release aligns with speculation surrounding Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Previous reports from The Verge suggested Microsoft and Bethesda were considering broader releases for major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, on other consoles. While initial exclusivity deals were secured post-acquisition, Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, which brought titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to other platforms, hints at a more flexible strategy.
Gamescom 2024: A Potential Reveal?
Further details regarding Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are anticipated during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20th. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the event promises a closer look at the game, potentially including an official release date alongside other highly anticipated titles.
