Reports suggest a PlayStation 5 port of Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is slated for the first half of 2025. This follows the game's anticipated release on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year.
PS5 Release Confirmed?
Industry insider, Nate the Hate, a source with a proven track record regarding Microsoft's multi-platform strategies, claims the game will be a timed Xbox console exclusive for the 2024 holiday season. A subsequent PS5 launch is anticipated around the first half of 2025. This information has been corroborated by Insider Gaming, who report that several media outlets have received this information under NDA.
Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy
This potential PS5 release aligns with Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Previous reports from The Verge indicated Microsoft and Bethesda were exploring broader releases for major titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, despite initial exclusivity agreements. This strategy, exemplified by the "Xbox Everywhere" initiative (which brought titles like Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, and Grounded to other platforms), suggests a softening of the "red line" against future PlayStation releases of Xbox first-party games.
More Details at Gamescom
Further details regarding Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are expected during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20th. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the event promises a closer look at the game and a potential official release date announcement, alongside other highly anticipated titles.
