The action adventure weighs in at a whopping 132GB on Xbox Series X, and it ain't much better on PS5. As per the ever-reliable PlayStation Game Size on X (formerly Twitter), it's a 125GB download on Sony's current-gen system.
"Released back in December last year on the Xbox and the PC, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has made its way to the PlayStation. Developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda, we join Indy somewhere between the Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade." Stu @ Thumb Culture
Indiana Jones is back, and this time on PlayStation 5. Is The Great Circle akin to the Holy Grail, or more like a Crystal Skull? JDR grabs its whip and find's out in today's review.
look If you guys want us to pay more for games, at least give us quality. This game has to many BUGS...npc s stuck in walls, found artifacts do not register, Gina who refuses to follow....and for some puzzles you have to go back and forth between light and moderate difficulty🤷🤷 ...the Indiana Jones vibe is good, but this game is not long enough for a singleplayer game and the fun action sequences (plane and boat) where wayyyyy too short. It s not worth a 9. period
Executive Director & Video Game Industry Analyst at Circana (NPD) Mat Piscatella has revealed the PS5 version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle boosted sales for the game to number one in the US for the week ending April 19.
First and foremost, this must be great for the folks at Machine Games. Well done & congrats!
Xbox making BIG money out of Playstation nation this year!
Oblivion Remaster is already the third biggest release on PS5 this year! Only behind (so far) of Monster Hunter: Wild and Assassins Creed Shadows!
Shadow Dropped!
Zero Marketing!
Instant Success!
So is Sega these days.
Funny really you make a good game and make it available for sale and people buy it. What a world we live in
Still this argument? Lol.
The truth is the Xbox division cannot even survive without PS now, not the other way around.

"It's a shame that Xbox players don't respect games and game culture enough to support them."
You should take your concerns to the devs who gets fat checks upfront and supports Gamepass with their games in the first place, not the gamers. Gamepass is not for free, you know?
I pay, they provide. It´s simple as that. I´ll enjoy my games on Gamepass for as long as I can. I´ll support the games that aren´t available on Gamepass as well, but I refuse to be ripoff by a company like Nintendo and their insanely overpriced products. My money! My rules!

"You should be thanking the people that keep the industry alive by buying games, the fact that MS tried to ban multiplatform publishers from their biggest console market is detrimental to the industry."
Now they´re making games and making big money out of everyone and your lame rhetoric was destroyed.
And yes, you´re right. Xbox gamers should thank PC, Nintendo, Mobile and Playstation gamers for support Xbox gamers while funding and making those games available to us day one and making XGS a better, more profitable and financial stable for Xbox developers.
@Obscure_Observer
Lmao, you don't have the courage to even reply to the commenters directly anymore.
Since the majority of Xbox players absolutely REFUSE to buy and pay for games, it wouldn't be even possible to make these types of big budget games without releasing them on PS5.
It's a shame that Xbox players don't respect games and game culture enough to support them.
If I'm supporting the game and studio by paying for it via gamepass, I'm not also going to buy the game on top of that unless it is about to leave the service and I want to finish it. That would be like subscribing to Netflix while going out and buying Stranger Things box set on bluray.
@ThinkThink
That's just the thing - you AREN'T supporting the games and the studios by using Game Pass. That's the whole point. I can't believe you had the audacity to actually type that comment. Absolutely crazy work.
Show some appreciation for games and gaming culture by starting to actually pay for the games you are playing.
Kornholic, you're saying that microsoft isn't paying the developers to put their games on gamepass? Developers are doing it for free? That's wild, I had no idea. I will go out and buy all games from now on. Thanks
Playstation making BIG money out of Xbox nation this year.
Zero work, zero costs, zero risks... just collecting gold.
Just like with Sega and other big third party studios 🙌
And it's not just that 30% cut only.
Imagine if there's just one person saying:
"Mmmh, Indiana Jones is now on PS5. I just wanted to buy a new console. Oh, look here, Forza on PS now, too? Oh, what's that - Death Stranding 2 only on PS5? I guess I'm gonna get a PS5 then."
These are the decisions that lead to quarterly financial reports seen in the last one.
When Playstation made almost double the revenue of what Xbox did, with increased, even record hardware sales and profits.
It's not just that "30% cut".
Yes and some people don't seem to understand, the more consoles Playstation sells (because more people choose PS5 because of this), even more money they make because these people don't just buy these Xbox games on our console, they buy ALL 3rd party games across the board and Sony gets money from ALL of them. Sony is making a killing even more now. Some people don't realise just how much of a big massive WIN this is for Sony, now that MS put their games there. Just more 3rd party games that Sony gets a big fat chunk from. More games for all the users to choose from and Sony just sits back, on top of releasing their own games and the 2nd party games too. Sony is laughing. MS is laughing. Playstation gamers are laughing. Xbox gamers get what they've always had, their GamePass to continue unimpeded.
But they dont get Sony's games and we get all theirs, that's the kicker lol
You should be thanking the people that keep the industry alive by buying games, the fact that MS tried to ban multiplatform publishers from their biggest console market is detrimental to the industry.
Thank you gamers for buying this game and slowing down MS's mass layoffs and market manipulation is what you should be saying here.
That's a weird take on it since Oblivion was also released on PS3 back in the days, but okaaay. We know what you're trying to do LOL.
It's really no surprise that a publisher is taking advantage of available platforms to release their games on. I mean that's what EA, Ubisoft, and Activision (before becoming Xbox Games) have always done. It's poor business decision otherwise. This just means that Playstation is the best place to have access to all of the great games.
Now that Xbox fanboys have accepted that xbox games will be released on PS5 (and Switch 2), Microsoft will be able to release them on Day one from now on. Just had to get people to swallow the pill.
I really gotta say I am a bit curious about E-Day.
With hardly any sales anymore, wether hardware nor software, probably not even subscriptions in a quantity they would want to have:
Is Spencer going to pull the trigger and bring Gears D1 on Playstation?
Yeah, it's funny how some Xbox fanboys thought it would be a cold day in hell before Xbox first party games would ever release on PS. Then they kept moving the goal posts back each time a game came over to PS ("it's okay for that game, but it will never be this game, etc."). And now it's "We're making money ever time PS gamers buy our games, Yay!"
The very definition of "Cope".
It’s what a good game from a good franchise deserves.
I still think it would have done better if it came out on PS5 day one.
That's my guess, too.
In hindsight, it's really been a bold decision to not release it on Playstation in a month like December.
But instead back in August already to announce it's going to come to Playstation, then proceed to make it a weird "4 ½ months timed exclusive", and then to release it in a time with so much competition/big games being around.
Isn't this just weird?
I mean why would you do that, purely from a business point of view speaking.
Well in reality Microsoft probably wanted to release D1 on PlayStation but probably made the decision late in development... remember in an interview Spencer said, just a few months earlier, that the game would not be coming to PlayStation.
So this is probably the result of a bunch of 'inside baseball'.
The result is that Microsoft is on pace to dominate PlayStation sales charts for the month of April and May. It's great for Sony too as they get a windfall of platforming fees from a former competitor.
All in all this is good for both companies and even better for PlayStation consumers that get access to PlayStation exclusive games like Death Stranding and Ghost of Yotie on top of games like Indiana Jones, Forza, Doom, Oblivion, 33, and GTA all in the same year.
Well, yeah. Nothing to disagree with you.
Although, as far as "dominating Playstation charts" goes:
We'll see. I have nothing against anyone dominating anything.
But this term of "domination" shouldn't be used too losely I suppose.
Indiana Jones was #1 best-selling game in a single week (so far). Let's see how Forza went.
And after May we'll have better numbers, or even after 2025.
I guess it's safe to say Clair Obscure already surpassed Indiana's sales on PS5.
It's ironic that a game about a guy whose whole goal is to preserve ancient artifacts cannot in itself be preserved because the physical copy requires you to download half the game
Basically not utilizing Sony's kraken compression so they can effectively DRM the game with a download. I said I wouldn't be buying Microsoft games on PlayStation anyway. The sad thing is there is higher capacity disc technology waiting to be used but they choose to ignore it. It will probably be for archivists, general consumer is not allowed to archive anymore.
Eeew, first person.
Beautiful, but extremely boring game. Uncharted destroys this.
Why would that change?
