Excitement is building around "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle," a thrilling new action-adventure game from Xbox's Bethesda and developer MachineGames.

Xbox's “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” Possibly Releasing on PS5

Insider and Reports Claim a 2025 PS5 Release for Indiana Jones

Recent reports indicate that the eagerly awaited "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" might make its way to the PS5 in the first half of 2025. After its initial release on Xbox Series X/S and PC during the 2024 holiday season, the game will be a timed console exclusive for Xbox. Industry insider Nate the Hate, known for his accurate reports on Microsoft’s multi-platform strategies, shared that the PS5 version is planned for release post the timed-exclusive window.

"MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will release on Xbox & PC this holiday (Dec) as a timed console exclusive. After this timed-exclusive window expires, Indiana Jones & the Great Circle is planned to come to PlayStation 5 in the first half of 2025," Nate the Hate stated on Twitter (X).

Insider Gaming has corroborated these claims, noting that some media outlets have been privy to this information under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

Xbox Could Expand Major Releases to PlayStation

Speculation about Microsoft and Xbox's approach to platform exclusivity has been rife. Earlier this year, The Verge reported that Bethesda and Microsoft were considering broadening the release of major Xbox titles like Indiana Jones and Starfield to other platforms. Despite initial exclusivity agreements following Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda, the company appears open to releasing select flagship titles on competing platforms like the PlayStation.

This move aligns with Xbox's previous actions, as titles such as Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Grounded have been made available on rival platforms under the "Xbox Everywhere" initiative. Reports suggest that there's no strict "red line" preventing future Xbox first-party games from launching on PlayStation.

Fans eager for more details about "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" won't have to wait long. The game will be showcased at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20, hosted by Geoff Keighley. This event promises a closer look at the game and possibly an announcement of its release date, alongside other major titles like COD: Black Ops 6, MH Wilds, Civ 7, Marvel Rivals, and Dune: Awakening.
