Microsoft's upcoming game 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,' developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda, will initially launch on Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 9, 2024, before arriving on PlayStation 5 in spring 2025. This marks a shift in Microsoft's strategy to include multiplatform releases despite initial exclusivity periods. The game's Collector's Edition includes early access and various in-game items, and a story DLC titled 'Order of Giants' will be available post-launch. Phil Spencer of Microsoft emphasized that releasing games on multiple platforms is beneficial for the company's bottom line and overall player engagement. Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax and its subsequent decisions reflect a broader trend in the gaming industry toward cross-console availability to maximize reach and revenue.
