Xbox's Indiana Jones to Lose Platform Exclusivity: What It Means for PS5
Xbox's Indiana Jones Transitioning to PS5
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is poised to be a temporary Xbox exclusive, anticipated to land on the PS5 shortly after its initial release. Industry sources indicate that this title, developed by Machine Games, will arrive on Xbox and PC by late 2024, with a PS5 version expected in the first half of 2025.
Microsoft's Multiplatform Strategy
This decision is part of a broader strategy following Microsoft Gaming's CEO, Phil Spencer, hinting at a future where more games might exit their exclusivity status. Earlier this year, notable titles like Sea of Thieves made their way to PlayStation, leading to rising apprehensions among Xbox loyalists about future titles.
- Indiana Jones has ignited discussions about console exclusivity in the FTC v. Microsoft trial.
- Industry voices like Pete Hines have expressed concerns over exclusive titles impacting development resources.
- Potential shifts in other Xbox franchises, including the acclaimed Starfield, remain in speculation.
