New York, March 24, 2025 – In a move that could signal a shift in the gaming landscape, Microsoft is reportedly poised to announce a PlayStation 5 (PS5) version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle tomorrow, March 25th. The news, initially leaked by the reliable source billbil-kun and highlighted by IT Home, has sent ripples through the gaming community.
The PS5 edition of the Bethesda-published title is slated for release on April 17th, Beijing time, with pre-orders expected to commence alongside the official announcement. According to the leak, the PS5 version will be available in two physical editions: a standard edition priced at $69.99 (approximately ¥508 RMB) and a premium edition at $99.99 (approximately ¥726 RMB). The premium edition will grant players 48-hour early access to the game.
This development is particularly noteworthy considering Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was initially perceived as a potential Xbox exclusive, given Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda Softworks. The game has already garnered positive attention on Steam, where it is currently priced at ¥349 RMB and boasts a 90% positive review rating.
The move to release on PS5 could indicate a strategic decision by Microsoft to broaden the game’s reach and capitalize on the massive PlayStation user base. It also raises questions about the future of platform exclusivity in the gaming industry, as companies increasingly seek to maximize revenue streams across multiple platforms.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has already achieved significant success, surpassing 4 million players since its release on December 9, 2024. Developer MachineGames is currently working on a story DLC titled The Giant Order, expected to launch later this year, further expanding the game’s content and appeal.
The official announcement tomorrow will undoubtedly provide more details about the PS5 version, including potential enhancements and features tailored for the PlayStation platform. Gamers and industry analysts alike will be closely watching to see how this move impacts the competitive landscape and the future of gaming exclusives.
