Indiana Jones and the Great Circle PS5 Release Date Announced Alongside October Launch

After almost two hours of Gamescom Opening Night Live announcements, the boulder came smashing through the large screen in front of the audience in the form of a huge reveal. Not only did we get a release date for the long-awaited Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from Xbox-owned publisher Bethesda — we also got a reveal of a PS5 version coming next year.

Not only is the character of Indiana Jones elusive in the iconic film series, but the upcoming game's release date has been difficult to pin down since The Great Circle's reveal. Considering the Troy Baker-led title has been one of Xbox's killer exclusives for months, the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release date has been MIA.

However, thanks to the stream of reveals during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20, 2024, we've finally got a release date for Jones' next adventure — December 9, 2024. Of course, pre-ordering the expensive Premium Edition gives you a host of bonuses too, including three days early access and the upcoming 'The Order of Giants' story DLC, but that's hardly the biggest announcement for Indy during Gamescom.

In fact, despite Xbox confirming Indiana Jones as an exclusive during the FTC trial, the company has announced that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5. In fact, the upcoming action-adventure only has a few months of exclusivity for Xbox and PC, launching in Spring 2025 for PlayStation players.

Fortunately, that does mean more people get to experience the excitement of Indiana Jones' new adventure, something we praised in our Indiana Jones preview, but it does mean that Xbox's approach to console exclusives could be coming to an end. There's still a short exclusivity period, but it's much better than Starfield's 'maybe, maybe-not' approach to a potential PS5 launch right now.

It's a huge shock to see Indiana Jones announced for PS5, but for fans of the character, this will certainly allow you to use his iconic whip, and become the adventurer without opening your wallet for a new PC or Xbox.
