​”Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks, is set to release on PlayStation 5 on April 17, 2025. This action-adventure game follows archaeologist Indiana Jones in 1937 as he endeavors to thwart adversaries seeking to exploit a mysterious global phenomenon known as the Great Circle. ​

Players will navigate diverse locations, including Vatican City, Thailand, Egypt, and China, experiencing a blend of linear story-driven sequences and expansive exploratory environments. The gameplay emphasizes a combination of stealth tactics and direct combat, with Indy’s iconic whip serving both as a weapon and a tool for solving environmental puzzles. ​

The game was initially released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on December 9, 2024. The forthcoming PS5 version introduces enhancements, including visual optimizations for PS5 Pro and two new whip abilities—”Open Season” and “Sleight of Hand.” ​

Pre-orders for all editions are now available and include the downloadable content “The Last Crusade Pack,” featuring the “Traveling Suit” outfit and “Lion Tamer” whip. A premium edition offers early access starting April 15, along with additional content such as a digital art book, the “Temple of Doom” outfit, and access to the upcoming “The Order of Giants” story DLC. For collectors, a special bundle includes the premium edition’s content plus physical items like a steelbook display case, a globe with hidden storage, an Allmaker Relic, and an adventure journal. ​

Bethesda’s decision to bring “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” to PS5 aligns with its recent strategy of expanding Xbox titles to other platforms, exemplified by releases like “Hi-Fi Rush” and “Sea of Thieves” on PS5. ​
