While the former doesn’t currently have a firm release date, the latter is confirmed to be hitting PS5 on March 4. If a new rumor surroundingIndiana Jones and the Great Circleturns out to be accurate, it could be a busy couple of months for PlayStation fans.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Could Hit PS5 in April
Microsoft has already confirmed thatIndiana Jones and the Great Circlewill come to PS5this year, but The Verge’s Tom Warren hasnow claimedthat the hit action-adventure game from MachineGames is targeting an April release date. Previous rumors and leaks have already indicated that the title could be going multiplatform in the Spring, but if the latest rumor is to be believed, PlayStation 5 users will be able to check out Indy’s latest adventure in the coming months.
Xbox’s sudden shift to a multiplatform strategy has been controversial, but Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has previouslydefendedIndiana Jones and the Great Circle’s PlayStation 5 release. Back in 2024, Spencer said that Xbox’s franchises “are as strong as they’ve ever been,” but then explained that it is still a business. The studio head noted that the “bar is high” at Microsoft, which is why the studio has opted to bring more and more of its titles to its long term competitor. The multiplatform strategy kicked off in 2024 with the likes ofSea of Thieves, Pentiment, Grounded,Hi-Fi Rush, and many more making their way to PlayStation 5, and there’s still more to come.
