The adventure game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, will be available starting December 9, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PC (including Steam). Although there isn’t an exact release date yet, a PlayStation 5 version is planned to follow, with a tentative launch in the year 2025.

In most cases, Indiana Jones: The Great Circle can be found in three distinct versions. The basic version, known as the Standard Edition, solely contains the game and retails for around $70. Additionally, there’s a Premium Edition, priced at $100, which comes with additional features.

  • Base Game (Digital or Physical)
  • Up to 3 days early access
  • The Order of Giants Story DLC (when it releases)
  • Digital Art Book
  • Temple of Doom Outfit
  • The Last Crusade Pack
    o Traveling Suit Outfit
    o Lion Tamer Whip

Additionally, there’s an option for a Premium Upgrade at a cost of $35. This upgrade offers all the additional features found in the Premium Edition, yet it does not come with the game itself. Instead, its purpose is to provide players who initially choose the Standard Edition with access to the Premium Edition extras without requiring them to purchase an extra copy of the game.
