The latest rumors regarding a radical change in the operating strategy of the Redmond giant are gaining more and more publicity. Microsoft may also decide to launch one of the most anticipated products from MachineGames and Bethesda on PlayStation 5 – the Indiana Jones game may make its debut on Sony's console.
This morning we reported on significant changes in Microsoft's management of exclusive game launches. Reports of the premieres of Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves were just a prelude to the stunning announcements. Industry journalists report that Starfield – one of Bethesda's most popular novelties from last year – will also be available on PS5. But this is not the end of the news.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle may debut on PS5 This information was provided by Tom Warren from The Verge, citing reliable sources. The journalist stressed this New production from MachineGames “It feels like it's part of this new wave of cross-platform gaming.”.
PlayStation 5 players will have the chance to play Indiana Jones just a few months after the premiere on Xbox Series The Indy adventure is scheduled to debut in December 2024, so we can look forward to its debut on the Sony platform in early 2025!
Although Bethesda will release its Indiana Jones game first as an Xbox exclusive, it's currently expected to have a fairly short exclusivity period, we're told. A PS5 release is being considered a few months later, and Bethesda is tentatively planning a December 2024 release for the Xbox and PC versions.
Last July, during the lawsuit between Microsoft and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), there was a lot of talk about the high sales that were supposed to be achieved by Starfield and Indiana Jones – a MachineGames game that was originally supposed to be released on PS5, but decisions changed and the manufacturer focused on… Xbox on exclusivity. Redmond's strategy tweak will likely bring more novelties, and the PlayStation community will become familiar with the game – The company is still determining the specific elements that will be included on competing platforms.
