- Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has recently been confirmed for PS5.
- Soon after the announcement, an old clip of Phil Spencer stating that titles like Indiana Jones wouldn’t be released on the PS5 surfaced online.
- However, the Green Team Boss meant Indiana Jones and Starfield would not be among the first four titles released on multiple platforms.
Many rumours suggested that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle would be released on PS5 as Xbox has changed its strategy and is releasing its first-party titles on multiple platforms.
Following many rumours, it was officially confirmed yesterday during the Gamescom 2024 that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle will be released on PS5. However, many fans are confused as Phil Spencer recently stated that the title won’t be released for PS5.
However, Xbox boss words have been shared without the proper context, as Phil Spencer stated that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle wouldn’t be among the first four titles released on multiple platforms.
Why it matters: recent leaks have suggested that Xbox’s most popular exclusive franchises, like Halo, might also be in development for PS5 following the recent shift to multiplatform releases.
Soon after the official announcement, many fans took to Twitter to share an old video of Phil Spencer from the Xbox podcast in February.
During the podcast, the Xbox boss claimed that Starfield, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle aren’t among the titles that are releasing for PS5. While this has confused fans, it’s only because it’s being shared without context.
Phil announced in February that they had decided to release four of their titles to other platforms, not changing much about their fundamental exclusive strategy. While discussing those four titles, he stated that they don’t include Starfield or Indiana Jones.
Just four games, not a change to our fundamental exclusive strategy.
-Phil Spencer
Therefore, Phil Spencer never claimed that Starfield, Indiana Jones, and The Great Circle would never be released on the PS5. He meant that it wasn’t among those four titles.
The first four titles released as a multiplatform strategy were Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Sea of Thieves. Now, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has joined the titles coming to PS5.
While many Xbox fans are disappointed by Phil Spencer’s recent clip, we believe that the Xbox boss never gave false hopes to the community, and his words made great sense if seen in their actual context.
