Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was one of the standout games of 2024, despite not being the most commercially successful, and we now have our clearest indication yet of its upcoming release on PlayStation 5.
According to the French site Dealabs, the PS5 version is scheduled to be released on April 17, with a deluxe release offering two days of early access starting April 15.
This means the PlayStation Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will arrive just over four months after the original Xbox and PC versions. And that wait has not saved you any money.
The standard PlayStation 5 version of the game will reportedly cost £69.99, while the Premium Edition is £99.99. This two-version split release is yet to be directly confirmed by Sony or publisher Bethesda but mirrors the Xbox release.
In the original release, the Premium Edition gave players three days of early access, rather than two. It also included a piece of DLC called The Order of Giants, a digital art book, and a “Temple of Doom” outfit for Indy.
The release date for The Order of Giants DLC is yet to be confirmed, and Bethesda has not provided details on its size. However, we know it will be a story expansion rather than a simple cosmetic addition.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle received largely positive reviews at its initial release, with some critics claiming it offers the best Indiana Jones adventure since the original 1980s movie series.
How much attention it garners on PlayStation 5 will be a key indicator of the game's success, a metric we have yet to access.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed during an earnings call that four million people had played the game. However, given that it's available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, this figure doesn't directly correlate to four million copies sold.
To estimate PC sales, one approach is to look at the number of Steam reviews or the estimated peak concurrent users on Steam, as published by SteamDB.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle peaked at 12,138 players on Steam, with fewer than 8,000 reviews — relatively low numbers for a high-profile AAA title. For comparison, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has more than 57,000 reviews on Steam, despite being released just over a month ago.
