“Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” has received a release date for Xbox with plans to launch on PlayStation 5 next year.
Xbox announced out of video game convention gamescom on Tuesday that the Bethesda Game Studios-produced game will drop Dec. 9 for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and Steam and arrive on Sony’s PlayStation 5, main rival console to Bethesda parent company Microsoft’s Xbox, in Spring 2025.
The release of the game on PS5 is a significant step in Xbox’s strategy to rollout some of its exclusive games across competitor devices, and a break from Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer’s comments back in February that “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” would not be among those titles.
“Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” will be available on launch day via Xbox’s subscription Game Pass offering and up to three days early by pre-ordering the Premium Edition, Premium Edition Upgrade or Collector’s Edition.
Per Microsoft’s description for the game, “From MachineGames, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, set between the events of ‘Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark’ and ‘Indiana Jones and the The Last Crusade,’ ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’ immerses players in an all-new single-player, narrative driven adventure. Blending cinematic set-pieces, puzzle-solving, and hand-to-hand combat, players will embark on an authentic Indiana Jones™ experience around the world to try and defeat the sinister forces working against them.”
Xbox also announced plans for “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” downloadable content, “The Order of the Giants,” will be coming at a later date post-game launch. The DLC will be available with purchases of the Premium, Premium Upgrade and Collector’s Edition.
