The much-anticipated Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has recently appeared with a PlayStation 5 rating on the website of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), hinting that a release on Sony's console might be just around the corner. Developed by the acclaimed MachineGames, this action-adventure game first hit the shelves for Xbox Series X and S, as well as PC, in December 2024. PlayStation 5 enthusiasts can look forward to its arrival sometime in the spring of 2025, suggesting that the wait won't be long.
Despite Microsoft's silence on the exact PS5 release date during their recent Xbox Developer Direct showcase, the buzz around an imminent announcement is palpable. MachineGames has been proactive with updates since the game's initial Xbox launch, recently rolling out fixes for various bugs and enhancing PC performance with support for Nvidia DLSS 4, including Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Rest assured, the PS5 version will come equipped with all the updates released so far.
The game's launch on Xbox Game Pass has already propelled Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to an impressive milestone, reaching 4 million players. This number is poised to surge once the PlayStation 5 version becomes available, expanding the game's reach even further.
In related news, the iconic Indiana Jones actor, Harrison Ford, has given a nod of approval to Troy Baker's portrayal of the beloved character in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Ford humorously remarked, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it." Ford's endorsement underscores the high-quality performance and authenticity that fans can expect from Baker's take on the legendary adventurer.
