Indiana Jones and The Great Circle PS5 Launch Sees Strong Sales
Remember when Indiana Jones and The Great Circle first came out for PC and Xbox. It seemed like a solid hit, getting good reviews and finding plenty of players on those platforms.
Well, the adventure recently landed on PlayStation 5. It looks like the reception there is proving to be particularly strong. Some interesting data has just surfaced.
What the Analysts Are Saying
According to market analysts at Alinea Analytics, the first week of the game on the PS5 console generated some surprising figures in terms of sales. According to them, around 117,200 copies were sold during PlayStation 5 in that first week.
Surprisingly, they also compared this to Steam sales (on PC) in that same week. Steam sold approximately 91,200 copies during that time. So, the PS5 version then went on to sell more during its first week out than the PC version sold on Steam during that same period.
Alinea further added that the majority of the people that are taking the game seem to be people who enjoy similar world-trotting adventure games, referring specifically to fans of such series as Uncharted and Tomb Raider.
A Note on Xbox Numbers
And now you are probably thinking, "But what about Xbox." Indeed, much more people did play the game on Xbox – over 5 million, reports Reese Elliott of Alinea. And yet he warned that such a figure counts anyone who ever attempted the game through the Game Pass subscription platform. That is, it isn't necessarily a measure of sheer sales like figures for the PS5 and Steam are.
Release Dates to Remember
For the sake of reference, The Great Circle initially released on PC and Xbox Series back in December 9, 2024. It eventually landed on the PlayStation 5 a very long time after that, on April 17, 2025.
So, even with the staggered release, the PS5 launch week saw a healthy surge in sales, even surpassing Steam's for that week. It's a fascinating figure that shows a strong hunger for this adventure on Sony's platform. Positive news for Bethesda and Lucasfilm Games.
