- Indiana Jones is set to arrive on PS5 after Xbox players enjoy a ‘great experience’ first.
- The gap between the Xbox and the PlayStation release is mostly a production decision.
- A past report has suggested a spring 2025 PS5 launch window.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle made people doubtful before, but on release, it was mostly received with open arms by both the skeptics and the fans of the series, with players finding the gameplay loop surprisingly good. However, only the PC and Xbox players have been eating well, as the developers have not landed the title on PS5 yet.
Xbox Studios boss Matt Booty clarified why Indiana Jones did not arrive on PS5 during launch, claiming that Xbox wanted its players to enjoy a ‘great experience’ first.
Why it matters: Matt Booty’s remarks suggest that Xbox execs want their players to enjoy the Indiana Jones experience before third-party platforms can get a piece.
In an interview with Variety, Matt said every Xbox studio adopts the multiplatform strategy differently. For Indiana Jones, the extra time taken for PS5’s launch has been designed to ensure a great Xbox release experience.
We want to make sure there’s a great experience for our Xbox players.
Matt Booty further clarified that releasing some Xbox exclusives on other platforms does not exactly mean that all of them will follow suit. So, the multiplatform strategy will rely on a game-by-game basis.
Previously, it was revealed that the game will arrive for PS5 in spring 2025.
