Design director Jens Andersson, meanwhile, said bringing The Great Circle to PS5 is “something we wanted to do.” The developer added that the game’s engine, id Tech, was made as a multiplatform engine, which will help the team bring the game to PS5. Andersson also mentioned how MachineGames will “absolutely” be able to have more time to polish the PS5 edition for launch.

Discussing why Microsoft is bringing The Great Circle to PS5, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said Xbox is a business that exists to make money.
Also in the interview, Andersson said The Great Circle is a “love letter” to the Indiana Jones franchise, and as such, it will have “plenty of fan service,” including Easter eggs and other nods. At the same time, Andersson said it’s “equally important” that The Great Circle appeals to people who don’t know anything about the franchise.
“We want this to be the first introduction to Indiana Jones for a lot of people who can just try it out on Game Pass,” the developer said.
