Will Indiana Jones and the Great Circle be on PS5?
Yes, the new Indiana Jones game is coming to PS5 – you just need to wait for 2025
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be on PS5. There's been a lot of you asking whether the new Indiana Jones game would be on PS5 ever since the title was properly unveiled earlier this year, and the news out of Gamescom 2024 is sure to be well received. Given that Xbox now owns developer MachineGames the cross-platform release was never a sure thing, but below you'll find everything we know so far on the shock announcement.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle PS5 release window confirmed
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is launching on PC, Xbox Series X, and Game Pass on December 9, 2024. The game is a timed exclusive following the $7.5 billion acquisition of Bethesda in 2021, which included developer MachineGames.
However, we can now confirm that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will launch on PS5 in 'Spring 2025'. Microsoft Gaming is yet to provide a firmer release date for the PlayStation launch, but at least we know that it's coming – and that you won't have long to wait.
While it may seem strange to find an Xbox published game arriving on other platforms, this is actually part of a wider strategy. Earlier this year, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer announced that Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, Grounded, and Hi-Fi rush would be arriving on rival platforms – part of an effort to expose some of Xbox's franchises to wider audiences. Black Ops 6 is also coming to PS5 this October, despite Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard earlier this year.
Which is all to say that, yes, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5, and sooner than expected. Now we just need to wait and see whether other upcoming Xbox Series X games like Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable 4, and Perfect Dark will also make the jump.
