Bethesda’s Pete Hines has revealed in June 2023 while speaking on court that the Indiana Jones game is not coming to PS5. The deal with Disney was amended at some point to exclude PlayStation consoles, and therefore the game is PC and Xbox-only.

What Indiana Jones And The Great Circle ?
The Indiana Jones game is based on the multi-million dollar franchise that launched in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark, which cemented Ford’s reputation as a leading man after his success as a supporting hero in Star Wars.
However, this will be an entirely new Indy adventure and will not be based on any existing story. Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is set between Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade and has Indy chasing across the globe after a world changing relic as he is predictably chased by a bunch of angry Nazis. Classic Indy then!
You can catch the synopsis and the first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle below:
“Executive produced by Hall of Fame game designer Todd Howard; Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™ takes players to 1937 as sinister forces are searching for an ancient power. Taking on the role of Indiana Jones, players must master Indy’s whip and quick wits to unravel this menacing conspiracy in an epic, globetrotting adventure.
Indy’s trademark whip remains at the heart of his gear, and can be used to distract, disarm, attack enemies, and traverse the environment. Throughout the game, players will encounter a mix between a narrative-driven gaming experience and open-area maps. With gameplay full of adventure, immersive action, and intriguing puzzles, players can combine stealthy infiltration, first-person melee, and gunplay to sneak, fight, and puzzle their way through the enemy threat.”
