Microsoft and Bethesda have confirmed that the much-anticipated game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be available on PS5 following its initial release on Xbox. The news was announced during Gamescomโs Opening Night Live, revealing that the game will first debut on Xbox and PC on December 9 before making its way to PS5 in the spring of 2025.
A short period of exclusivity
This announcement comes after months of speculation and reports hinting at the game’s release strategy. In February, it was disclosed that Microsoft contemplated a PS5 launch for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shortly after its initial release on Xbox and PC. This limited exclusivity period means PS5 players wonโt have to wait too long to get their hands on the latest Indiana Jones adventure.
Sources close to Bethesda have shared that the company is aiming for an April 2025 release on PS5. However, as is often the case with game development, this timeline could change depending on how production progresses in the coming months.
Part of a broader strategy
The decision to bring Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to PS5 is part of a larger strategy by Microsoft and Bethesda, internally referred to as Project Latitude. This approach aims to extend the availability of certain Xbox games to other platforms, marking a shift towards a more multiplatform-focused future.
In addition to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, another highly anticipated Bethesda title, Doom: The Dark Ages, will launch on PS5 in 2025. This follows the trend of previous Xbox-exclusive titles, such as Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded, all making their way to PS5.
For fans of the Indiana Jones franchise, the wait for the game on PS5 might feel long, but the promise of a well-crafted, action-packed experience will likely make it worthwhile. As the release dates draw closer, more details and gameplay previews are expected, building excitement for a major release on the gaming calendar.
