Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on PS5 on April 17, bringing immersive DualSense features, native 4K, ray tracing, and more. Get early access with the Premium Edition on April 15.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the acclaimed first-person action-adventure title from MachineGames, Bethesda, and Microsoft, is finally making its way to PlayStation 5 on April 17. Players who purchase the Premium Edition will get a two-day head start, beginning April 15. To celebrate the occasion, a new launch trailer has been released, highlighting the game’s cinematic flair and enhanced next-gen features.
Set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, the game lets players step into the boots of the legendary archaeologist on a globe-trotting quest to solve a mysterious ancient conspiracy. Locations range from the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the Egyptian desert to the sunken temples of Sukhothai and the icy Himalayas, promising a richly diverse and immersive journey.
After launching on Xbox Series X/S and PC in December to widespread critical acclaim, the PS5 version of The Great Circle brings with it a host of platform-specific enhancements. These include native 4K resolution, a stable 60 FPS performance, advanced ray tracing, and SSD optimization for minimal loading times. The PlayStation 5 Pro version further elevates the experience, delivering next-level visual clarity and smoother frame rates.
A standout feature of the PS5 version is its deep integration with the DualSense controller. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers provide tactile realism, whether you’re snapping a whip, firing a weapon, or rummaging through ancient ruins. The controller’s lightbar also responds dynamically to gameplay — turning yellow during combat, pulsing red when health is low, and glowing green when health is restored.
Production Director John Jennings expressed excitement over the game’s PS5 release, saying, “We’ve worked hard to ensure our use of the PlayStation 5’s suite of features directly benefits you and the game. We look forward to hearing your Indy stories!”
The PS5 release also supports Community Game Help, allowing players to receive tips and walkthroughs from fellow adventurers for each objective and mission step. This feature aims to ensure players never feel stuck during their journey.
In addition to gameplay polish, a recent update for Xbox and PC — expected to be included at PS5 launch — introduces new progression systems with Adventure Books, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes, further enhancing the experience.
Critics have praised Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for capturing the spirit of the original films. With compelling level design, engaging puzzles, and a perfect blend of stealth and combat, the game stands out as one of MachineGames’ finest efforts to date. The PS5 release is poised to bring this unforgettable adventure to a whole new audience, complete with cutting-edge enhancements that elevate both immersion and performance.
Whether you’re a lifelong Indy fan or a newcomer to the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle promises a swashbuckling experience worthy of the iconic fedora and whip.
