Originally released on December 9, 2024, for Windows and Xbox Series X/S, “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” has garnered significant acclaim. The game offers an original narrative set in 1937, between the events of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” Players accompany Indy across various global locales, including the Vatican City, Thailand, Egypt, and China, unraveling the mysteries of the Great Circle. Now, Indiana Jones is coming to PS5.
Release date of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for PS5
The release date of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for PS5, according to industry insider billbil-kun, is April 17, 2025. The PS5 version will be available in two editions: Standard and Premium. The Premium Edition provides several enticing bonuses:
- Two Days Early Access: Players can start their adventure on April 15, 2025.
- The Order of Giants Story DLC: An additional narrative expansion enriching the main storyline.
- Digital Art Book: A collection showcasing concept art and behind-the-scenes content.
- Temple of Doom Outfit: A special in-game attire inspired by Indy’s look in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”
Pre-ordering any edition grants players the Last Crusade Pack, which includes a Lion Tamer Whip and a Traveling Suit Outfit, adding further customization options for their in-game character.
Both physical editions for PS5 will come with a disc. However, an internet connection will be required to complete the installation process.
PlayStation 5 Pro launch games have been announced. Accordingly, 55 games will work fully optimized with PS5 Pro in the first phase.
The game’s transition to PS5 marks a significant shift in platform exclusivity. Initially, “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” was a timed console exclusive for Xbox Series X/S and PC. The decision to expand to PS5 aligns with Microsoft’s recent strategy of broadening its game availability across multiple platforms. Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, emphasized the company’s intent to grow the Xbox ecosystem across console, PC, and cloud platforms, stating that multiplatform development “works for us.”
Positive reviews from both critics and players
Critically, the game has been well-received. It holds scores of 86 for the console version and 87 for the PC version on Metacritic, reflecting positive reviews from both critics and players. The game’s engaging storyline, immersive environments, and faithful representation of the Indiana Jones universe have been particularly praised.
The PS5 release is expected to introduce the game to a broader audience, building upon the success it has already achieved on other platforms. Fans can anticipate an immersive experience that captures the essence of Indiana Jones’ adventures, blending action, exploration, and puzzle-solving elements seamlessly.
As the April 17 release date approaches, excitement continues to build. Both new players and those familiar with the franchise have much to look forward to in this latest installment of the Indiana Jones saga.
