Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has officially received an ESRB rating for PlayStation 5, indicating that the game will be arriving on Sony’s console after its initial release on Xbox Series X/S and PC. The PS5 version has been rated T for Teen, featuring content descriptors such as Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Mild Language, and Violence. This rating is separate from the one previously given to the game’s Xbox and PC versions.
The ESRB rating summary describes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle as an action-adventure title where players assume the role of the iconic archaeologist, Indiana Jones. The game is played primarily from a first-person perspective, with players exploring ancient ruins, catacombs, and tombs while solving puzzles and battling enemies. The gameplay includes hand-to-hand combat, stealth takedowns, and the use of a whip as both a weapon and a traversal tool. Players also have access to rifles, machine guns, and environmental objects such as shovels and brooms to dispatch enemies. The rating summary further mentions sequences of graphic violence, including a severed arm on the ground and a corpse impaled on a spike trap, as well as brief references to drug use through in-game text. Additionally, strong language such as “a*s,” “bastard,” and “p*ss” appears in dialogue.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle originally launched for Xbox Series X/S and PC on December 9, 2024. Developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks, the game features an original story set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The narrative follows Indiana Jones in 1937 as he attempts to uncover the mystery of the Great Circle, a series of ancient sites that align perfectly on a global map, while fending off various factions seeking to exploit its power. The game’s adventure takes players across real-world locations, including Vatican City, Thailand, Egypt, and China.
The PlayStation 5 version is set to launch in early 2025, but an exact release date has yet to be announced.
