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 holiday season, 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 claims the game will enjoy a timed exclusivity period on Xbox before launching on PS5. This aligns with a report from Insider Gaming, which corroborates the information, citing NDAs with various media outlets.
Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy?
The potential PS5 release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle further fuels speculation surrounding Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Earlier reports from The Verge suggested Microsoft and Bethesda were considering wider releases for major titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, despite initial exclusivity agreements. This aligns with Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, which has already brought titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to other platforms.
The possibility of a PS5 release is further supported by the lack of a strict "red line" preventing future Xbox first-party titles from appearing on PlayStation, according to previous reports.
More Details at Gamescom?
Fans eagerly await further details. Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20th, hosted by Geoff Keighley, is expected to shed more light on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, potentially revealing an official release date alongside other highly anticipated titles.
