Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is in the works at MachineGames, a dev team under the Bethesda umbrella and thus, owned by Microsoft. But could this upcoming title still find its way to Sony’s PS5? Here’s what we know.
Years on from its announcement and further still from the last game in the iconic franchise, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is finally coming into focus.
A deep dive at the start of 2024 gave us our first proper look at the first-person title, showcasing everything from whip-based combat to puzzle solving and plenty of exploration to boot. And while this showcase occurred during an Xbox Dev Direct, could it soon find its way to other platforms?
Although a launch across Xbox and PC is locked in, could Indy eventually discover Sony’s hardware as well? Here’s what we know about the possibility of a PS5 release for The Great Circle.
The Great Circle could find its way to PS5 shortly after its Xbox and PC release.
Will Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release on PS5?
Currently, there’s no guarantee Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will release on PS5, though Microsoft is reportedly pushing for it.
Latest reports from The Verge indicate a PS5 launch is being strongly ‘considered’ as Microsoft weighs its options amid a turbulent period in Xbox history. Though fans shouldn’t expect a day and date release, rather, a PS5 port would arrive “some months later” , in 2025.
This news comes amid a string of reports surrounding Microsoft’s supposed change in strategy. Losing the hardware war to Sony by a considerable margin, Xbox Game Pass and exclusive titles are the main drivers of revenue. Seeking to earn a little extra from software sales, the company is reportedly open to bringing many of its platform exclusives over to rival consoles.
From Sea of Thieves to Starfield, there are many major Xbox titles PlayStation owners could soon get their hands on, with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle simply another on the list.
As always, plans can certainly change along the way, so do take this information with a heaping serve of salt for now. There’s no guarantee the Great Circle ever launches on PS5, as Microsoft could always abandon these reported plans before getting them off the ground.
With that said, we’ll be sure to keep you posted here with any further developments as we get closer to the launch of the latest Indiana Jones game.
