Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: A PS5 Release on the Horizon?
Reports suggest that Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, initially slated for Xbox Series X/S and PC this year, may arrive on PlayStation 5 in the first half of 2025. This news comes from industry insider Nate the Hate, who has a track record of accurate leaks regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategies.
Nate the Hate's claim, stating a timed Xbox console exclusivity during the 2024 holiday season followed by a PS5 release, has been corroborated by Insider Gaming. The report mentions that several media outlets have received this information under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
Shifting Exclusivity Strategies at Xbox?
This potential PS5 release aligns with speculation surrounding Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Earlier reports from The Verge indicated that Microsoft and Bethesda were considering broader releases for major titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield. While initially secured as Xbox exclusives post-acquisition, Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, which brought titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to other platforms, suggests a willingness to expand availability.
The absence of a strict "red line" against future first-party releases on PlayStation further supports this possibility.
More details are anticipated during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20th. This event, hosted by Geoff Keighley, is expected to shed more light on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, potentially revealing the official release date alongside other highly anticipated games.
