Bethesda has announced that MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and The Great Circle will launch on PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access, ahead of its global release on April 17. Those who pre-order the game will gain access to the early access period.

The PS5 release date, which follows four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC, was revealed alongside a playful promotional 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. The trailer marks a full-circle moment, given the inspiration Uncharted draws from the Indiana Jones franchise.

In the trailer, Baker and North engage in a light-hearted conversation, with North humorously suggesting he broke into the room they're in, hinting at the typical action-packed scenarios Nathan Drake finds himself in. The banter continues as North questions Baker on how he plans to tackle Private Military Forces with just a whip, to which Baker responds with a nod to using his head, prompting a witty exchange about their respective approaches to adventure.

The actors also share a moment over their love for ancient artifacts, with North playfully suggesting he'd sell them to the highest bidder, while Baker's Indiana Jones would prefer to donate them to a museum. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an exclusive club of adventurers, with North declaring, "Welcome to the club." This signifies the inclusion of Xbox's Indiana Jones alongside PlayStation's Uncharted on Sony's console, marking a collaboration between treasure-hunters from different gaming worlds.

This release is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to launch its games on multiple platforms, following the footsteps of titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Doom: The Dark Ages. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has already seen significant success, reaching 4 million players since its launch on Game Pass, a number expected to grow with the PS5 release.

Harrison Ford, the iconic actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance in the game. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's portrayal, humorously noting, "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."
