Xbox’s exclusive shift on Indiana Jones & the Great Circle | Kaser Focus

Xbox revealed a bit more about its upcoming titles at Gamescom this week, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. In addition to some gameplay, we also got a release date for the title on Xbox consoles and PC … as well as a release window for its launch on PlayStation 5. This seemingly contradicts a previous statement from Phil Spencer that Great Circle wouldn’t be a multiplatform release — or at least, that Xbox was not wavering in its commitment to console exclusivity.

Spencer later said in an interview that “we run a business” at Xbox, and they were always looking for ways to make their franchises stronger while under increasing industry pressure to grow. “I think us – as fans, as players of games – we just have to anticipate there’s going be more change, and how some of the traditional ways that games are built and distributed – that’s gonna change. That’s gonna change for all of us. But the end result has to be better games that more people can play. If we’re not focused on that, I think we’re focused on the wrong things.”
