Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: 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 Insiders Point to 2025 PS5 Launch
Industry insider Nate the Hate, known for accurate leaks regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategy, claims the title will be a timed Xbox console exclusive for the 2024 holiday season, with a subsequent PS5 launch in early 2025. Insider Gaming corroborated this information, citing NDAs with various media outlets.
Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy
This potential PS5 release aligns with Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Previous reports from The Verge suggested Microsoft and Bethesda were considering expanding major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, to other platforms. While initially secured as exclusives, titles like Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Grounded have already launched on competing platforms under Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative. This suggests a potential softening of the hardline exclusivity previously observed.
Gamescom 2024: More Details Expected
Fans eagerly await further details during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20th, hosted by Geoff Keighley. This event is expected to provide a closer look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, potentially revealing its official release date alongside other highly anticipated titles.
