Indiana Jones Hits 4 Million Players—And PS5 Expansion Is Coming Soon

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been one of the biggest hits on Xbox released in the past year, and it appears the expansion to the PlayStation 5 is coming pretty soon.

Microsoft revealed that the new Indiana Jones game, released exclusively on Xbox Series X/S and PC, has just eclipsed the 4-million-player mark since its launch in December 2024.

Now, the next step appears to be the anticipated PlayStation 5 release.. The game is expected to release on April 17, thanks to an ESRB leak unearthed by Billbil-kun at Dealabs. After the leaks surfaced, speculation suggests pre-orders for the new Indiana Jones game might begin later this month—more specifically, on March 25.

While not confirmed, the upcoming PS5 version is expected to come in two editions: Standard at the usual $69.99 price point and a Premium Edition at $99.99. The bigger edition is expected to offer two days of early access, beginning on April 15.

Both the Standard and Premium editions are expected to offer digital and physical release options.

Upon release on Xbox and PC, the game received high marks from critics. On Metacritic, it received an 86 Metascore with Josh West of GamesRadar giving it a perfect 100 score. The Great Circle has been lauded for its visual appeal, pace, action and story. West wrote:

"It’s been over a decade since the last Indiana Jones game (and longer since Lucasfilm Games peered outside of the Star Wars universe), and the Great Circle only serves to highlight what we've been missing out on for all these years. With its luxurious production values, smart pacing, strong stealth-action, and expansive structure, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows that there's still plenty left for Lara Croft and Nathan Drake to learn about raiding tombs from the master."

In playing the game and watching gameplay, the one thing that pops off the screen is the way the spirit of the IP.

Thanks to the PS5 release, it seems fans of the game might also receive new content to add to the adventure. There are rumors of DLC that will expand Indy’s never-ending story. With the success of The Great Circle, there is hope that Disney might be encouraged to lean into more Indiana Jones projects, and the future of the franchise on all platforms could be bright.

If The Great Circle does land on PS5 in April, it appears to be headed for a sweet spot in the console’s title release schedule. Very few major titles are set for release in April, with Fatal Fury: City of Wolves, which has been somewhat bolstered by its connection to Riyadh Season and Turki Alalshikh’s boxing exploits, and the intriguing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24.

Nonetheless, the star power and critical acclaim powering The Great Circle should make its PS5 release a hit and one of the biggest stars for Sony in April. If the DLC is rolled out for all platforms, Xbox and Steam should benefit from the second launch as well.
