Bethesda has officially announced that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, developed by MachineGames, will launch on PlayStation 5 with early access starting April 15, followed by a full global release on April 17. Players who pre-order the game will gain exclusive access to this early-play period.

This PS5 release arrives approximately four months after the game initially launched on Xbox Series X|S and PC platforms. The announcement was accompanied by a cleverly crafted promotional trailer featuring what might be gaming’s two most iconic voice actors sharing screen time—Troy Baker as Indiana Jones and Nolan North, famous for his role as Nathan Drake in Sony’s Uncharted series.

It’s worth noting that Bethesda, now under Microsoft’s umbrella, brought in Nolan North—best known for a Sony-exclusive franchise—to feature in a promotional piece. While North never explicitly references Uncharted or Nathan Drake (likely due to legal boundaries), his tone and delivery are unmistakably familiar to fans of the PlayStation series.

In the trailer, North’s character jokingly claims he’s broken into the opulent room where the conversation takes place, hinting at imminent interruptions—a nod to Drake’s typical high-stakes scenarios. When asked how he would handle Private Military Forces using only a whip, Baker replies with a wink: “use the old—” before North interjects with “headbutt.” He approves: “I like it. Aggressive.”

North describes himself as more of a “sidearms kinda guy… jeans… henley,” prompting Baker to quip about his perpetually half-tucked look. The two then bond over their shared passion for ancient relics—though North jokes about selling them off, while Baker prefers donating them to museums. In a symbolic passing of the torch, North welcomes Baker’s Indiana Jones into an elite group of adventurers: “Welcome to the club.”

With Indiana Jones and The Great Circle now available on both Xbox and PlayStation, the legendary treasure hunter joins forces with PlayStation’s own Uncharted universe—all on Sony’s platform. One can almost imagine Lara Croft crashing through the window next, ready to remind everyone she’s just as capable.

This cross-platform move aligns with Microsoft’s broader strategy to expand its first-party titles beyond Xbox, including recent multiplatform releases such as Forza Horizon 5, Doom: The Dark Ages, and several upcoming titles rumored to follow suit.

Leveraging a day-one Game Pass launch, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has already achieved impressive player numbers, reaching 4 million players—a figure expected to grow significantly with the arrival of the PlayStation 5 version.

Adding to the excitement, Harrison Ford—who famously portrayed Indiana Jones for decades—has expressed approval of Troy Baker stepping into the role. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ford praised Baker’s performance in The Great Circle.

“You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul,” Ford remarked. “You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it.”

Ford’s endorsement not only adds credibility to the project but also reinforces the idea that skilled human performances remain irreplaceable—even in an era increasingly influenced by digital tools and AI-assisted development.
