Bethesda has exciting news for fans of the iconic archaeologist: MachineGames' *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access, with a global release following on April 17. Pre-ordering the game grants you early access to this thrilling adventure.
This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC. Alongside the announcement, Bethesda released a playful promo trailer featuring two of the most renowned video game actors: Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, and Nolan North, known for his role as Nathan Drake in the PlayStation-exclusive *Uncharted* series. This meeting of actors who embody characters inspired by each other marks a full-circle moment for *The Great Circle*.
In the trailer, Baker and North engage in a light-hearted conversation. North, embodying the spirit of Nathan Drake, jokingly suggests he broke into the opulent room they're in, hinting at imminent danger. The banter continues as North questions Baker on how he plans to handle Private Military Forces with just a whip. Baker responds with a nod to using his head, leading to a humorous exchange about their differing styles and preferences in attire.
Their conversation highlights their shared passion for ancient artifacts, albeit with different motives: Baker's Indiana Jones aims to donate them to museums, while North's character prefers selling them to the highest bidder. This playful interaction symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into the elite club of adventurers. "Welcome to the club," North declares, acknowledging the camaraderie between these legendary characters as *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* joins *Uncharted* on the PlayStation console.

This release aligns with Microsoft’s strategy to expand its gaming portfolio across multiple platforms, following the successful multiplatform launches of titles like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages*. *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* is the latest to make this transition, promising to bring more Microsoft-made games to rival consoles in the near future.
The game has already achieved significant success, reaching 4 million players since its launch on Game Pass. The upcoming PS5 release is expected to further boost these numbers.
In related news, Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance in *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's portrayal, humorously stating, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. 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."
