Just yesterday, it was officially confirmed that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle would finally be coming later this year. The title has also joined the list of games that will be released for PS5.
While many Xbox fans are confused and disappointed over the recent decision, Phil Spencer believes it is justified to release franchises like Indiana Jones on PS5.
Why it matters: Many Xbox fans feel that this decision undermines the value of first-party releases since nothing is guaranteed to be exclusive to Xbox anymore.

Spencer stated that the industry has been growing for many years, and now everyone is looking for ways to sustain this growth, so there is pressure on the industry. He confirmed that fans will continue to see changes in the ways games are distributed.
There’s going to be more change in how games were built and distributed.
Ultimately, Xbox still aims to provide the best experience possible for its players.
