Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: A PS5 Release on the Horizon?

Reports suggest that Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, slated for release on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year, may arrive on PlayStation 5 in the first half of 2025.

This news originates from industry insider Nate the Hate, known for accurately predicting Microsoft's multi-platform strategies. Nate the Hate claims the game will be a timed Xbox console exclusive for the 2024 holiday season, with a subsequent PS5 launch. Insider Gaming corroborated this, citing NDAs with various media outlets.

Microsoft's Shifting Exclusivity Strategy

This potential PS5 release aligns with Microsoft's evolving approach to exclusivity. Earlier reports from The Verge indicated that Microsoft and Bethesda were considering expanding the reach of major Xbox titles, including Indiana Jones and Starfield, to other platforms. While initial acquisitions secured exclusivity, Microsoft's "Xbox Everywhere" initiative, evidenced by the cross-platform releases of titles like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush, suggests a willingness to broaden availability for select games.

The lack of a strict "red line" against future first-party releases on PlayStation further supports this possibility.
