Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Is Coming to PS5—And It's Packed With Surprises

Indiana Jones Swings Onto PS5 With 4K, DualSense Support & More

This week, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle officially swings its way onto the PlayStation 5. And just ahead of launch day, PlayStation dropped a juicy blog post breaking down everything we can expect from the PS5 version—plus a brand-new trailer showing it all in action. Let’s just say… there’s a lot more here than just a basic port.

We’re talking full-blown, fedora-flipping enhancements.

Wait, Indiana Jones on PS5? Yep, and It's Glorious.

It’s still kind of wild to wrap our heads around the fact that one of Xbox’s most high-profile titles is now launching on the PlayStation 5. But hey, welcome to the age of platform crossovers—where console exclusivity isn’t quite as exclusive as it used to be. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, once a headlining Xbox release, is officially making its way to the PS5 on Thursday, April 17th. And the best part? It’s not just a copy-and-paste port—it’s been enhanced to feel right at home on Sony’s next-gen console.

This isn’t some low-effort re-release. The PS5 version has been carefully optimized to leverage everything the system—and especially the PS5 Pro—has to offer. We’re talking slick 4K resolution, improved lighting with ray tracing, and a consistent 60 frames per second across both standard and Pro models. That means the action is smooth, the visuals are sharp, and Indy’s cinematic adventures look better than ever.

On top of that, Sony’s gone the extra mile to integrate the unique features of the PS5 ecosystem, from DualSense controller support to lightning-fast load times. So whether you’re solving ancient puzzles or dodging booby traps in long-lost temples, The Great Circle on PS5 is shaping up to be the definitive way to experience Indy’s latest epic.

What's New in the PS5 Version?

Here’s the treasure trove of features packed into Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for PS5:

🎮 4K Resolution & Ray Tracing Goodness
Just like Forza Horizon 5 got that PS5 treatment earlier this year, Indy’s next-gen adventure comes with visually upgraded graphics. Expect sharp 4K visuals and gorgeous ray tracing that makes ancient ruins, flickering torchlight, and temple shadows pop right off the screen.

⚡ Smooth 60FPS Performance
Both the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro versions run at 60 frames per second. Translation? Combat, exploration, and whip-swinging look and feel buttery smooth.

🚀 Fast Load Times
Thanks to the PS5’s built-in SSD, load times are practically non-existent. Whether you’re revisiting tombs or restarting a failed stealth section, it’s all near-instant.

🎮 Haptic Feedback & Adaptive Triggers Support
Sony’s DualSense controller gets some love here too. From the subtle tension of Indy’s whip to the pulse of gunfire or the creak of a crumbling bridge, you’ll feel every moment.

🌈 Dynamic Controller Lighting
This one's just fun—your DualSense controller changes color based on what's happening in the game. In combat? The light turns yellow. It’s a cool little touch that adds some extra immersion.

💡 In-Game Tips & Help Menu
Stuck on a puzzle? No problem. The PS5 version includes built-in hints and a help system to guide you through tricky parts—without rage-quitting.

It's Not Just a Port, It's a Full Upgrade

This is more than just a game jumping platforms—it’s a game being rebuilt with PS5 players in mind. While the core experience is the same—globetrotting adventure, whip-smacking action, ancient mysteries—Sony’s taken the time to make sure it feels at home on their console.

With all these upgrades, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle looks like it might actually be best played on PS5 if you’ve got the hardware to back it up. And if you’re a DualSense diehard, you’re probably gonna love the way this game feels.

Indy Finds a New Temple on PS5

Whether you’ve been waiting to play The Great Circle or just want to re-experience it with shiny new visuals and smoother gameplay, the PS5 version is shaping up to be something special.

This might be one of the first major Xbox-to-PS5 jumps, but if Indiana Jones is any indication, it definitely won’t be the last. If this is what platform cross-pollination looks like, we’re here for it—especially when the results feel this polished.

So get your whip, grab your hat, and prepare to dive headfirst into the unknown—Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives for PS5 on April 17th.
