Why is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle coming to PlayStation 5?

Indy Jones’ upcoming release on PlayStation 5 follows the ongoing adaptation of Microsoft’s gaming approach. Earlier in the year, four games that were originally exclusive to Xbox consoles became available on PlayStation and Nintendo systems. Additionally, Obsidian Entertainment’s Grounded and Pentiment debuted on both PS4 and PS5, as well as the Nintendo Switch. Furthermore, Sea of Thieves from Rare and Hi-Fi Rush by Tango Gameworks, originally first-party titles, also launched on PlayStation 5.

According to Microsoft’s Gaming CEO Matt Booty, the team behind Sea of Thieves has been extremely satisfied with the game’s performance.

On the same day, DOOM: The Dark Ages by id Software (a subsidiary of ZeniMax Media and Bethesda Softworks) will be available for PlayStation 5, along with its launch on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and Xbox Game Pass. Conversely, games like Fable from Playground Games, Perfect Dark by The Initiative, and South of Midnight by Compulsion do not have announced versions for the PlayStation 5 at this time.
