Indie's PS5 Journey Delayed to 2025

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: PlayStation 5 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 the game's anticipated launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year.

2025 PS5 Release Confirmed by Multiple Sources?

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 launch in early 2025. Insider Gaming corroborates this, citing NDAs with various media outlets who've received similar information.

Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy

This potential PS5 release aligns with Microsoft's evolving approach to platform exclusivity. Earlier reports from The Verge indicated that Microsoft and Bethesda were exploring wider releases for major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, on competing platforms. While initial acquisitions secured exclusivity, Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, which brought titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to PlayStation, suggests a more flexible strategy.

Gamescom 2024: More Details Expected

Further details on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are anticipated during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20th. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the event promises a closer look at the game, potentially including a concrete release date alongside other highly anticipated titles.
