Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: A PS5 Release on the Horizon?
Rumors are swirling about a PlayStation 5 release for Bethesda and MachineGames' highly anticipated title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Following its launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year, the game is reportedly slated for a PS5 debut in the first half of 2025.
This information comes from industry insider Nate the Hate, who has a track record of accurate leaks regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategies. Nate the Hate claims the game will enjoy a timed exclusivity period on Xbox during the 2024 holiday season before making its way to the PlayStation 5. This claim is further supported by Insider Gaming, who report that several media outlets have received this information under non-disclosure agreements.
Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy?
The potential PS5 release aligns with speculation surrounding Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Earlier reports suggested that Microsoft and Bethesda were considering expanding the reach of major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield, to 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 consoles, hints at a more flexible strategy.
