Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: A PS5 Release on the Horizon?

Reports suggest Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, developed by MachineGames, is slated for a PlayStation 5 release in the first half of 2025. This follows its planned launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year.

2025 PS5 Launch Confirmed by Insiders?

Industry insider Nate the Hate, known for accurate leaks regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategy, claims the game will be a timed Xbox console exclusive for the 2024 holiday season, with a subsequent PS5 release in early 2025. This information has been corroborated by Insider Gaming, citing reports from media outlets under NDA.

Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy

Microsoft's approach to platform exclusivity has been a subject of much speculation. Earlier reports from The Verge indicated that Microsoft and Bethesda were exploring wider releases for major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, on other platforms. While initial acquisitions secured exclusivity, Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, which brought titles like Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Grounded to rival platforms, suggests a potential shift in strategy. There's reportedly no strict policy preventing future first-party Xbox games from launching on PlayStation.
