Rumour: Xbox's Indiana Jones Game Coming to PS5 in First Half 2025 1

Update: Insider Gaming is reporting that some media is already aware of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s target platforms, which include PS5. Writer Tom Henderson, citing unnamed media sources, claims NDAs on the subject have been signed, but it’s unclear if this information will be revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The game is set to feature during Geoff Keighley’s opening event.

Original Article: It appears we’re on the cusp of the next wave of Xbox exclusives being announced for PS5, and while social media speculation remains cryptic and vague, it’s looking increasingly likely that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be lassoing Sony’s new-gen system in the not-too distant future. This really speaks to Microsoft’s changing strategy, as it was previously reported that the trillion dollar tech titan had renegotiated its licensing deal with rights holder Disney to exclude PlayStation platforms.

There have been rumours about the nature of the release’s exclusivity for quite some time, but Windows Central stoked the fires late last week when reporter Jez Corden updated an article, suggesting there’s a “large” chance the MachineGames-developed tie-in could be announced for PS5. This followed discussion about a “big” Xbox game coming to Sony’s system, which has attracted rumours spanning everything from Forza Horizon 5 to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Now, well-regarded podcaster Nate the Hate has put some weight behind the nature of the alleged announcement: Indiana Jones is coming to PS5 and it’s coming soon. According to a post on X (or Twitter), the ITK individual says the title will release first on Xbox Series X|S and PC this December, before immediately following on Sony’s console in the first half of 2025. Assuming this information is accurate, that’d give it a console exclusivity period of just six months.

This is remarkable because, as previously mentioned, Xbox renegotiated with license holder Disney to exclude PS5 from the title’s target platforms after purchasing Bethesda. The news was confirmed by bigwig Pete Hines during the FTC trial involving Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. There, he confirmed under oath, that his company amended its license of the intellectual property to specifically exclude PlayStation platforms.

Assuming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle really is coming to PS5 relatively soon, this just underlines how much Microsoft’s strategy has changed. Waning hardware and software sales, and increased attention from upper-management, has forced it into bringing more of its titles to Sony’s consoles – and they’re seeing massive success in their new destination, too.
