The Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Collector's Edition is currently available for preorder on Amazon and includes the three-day head start alongside a steelbook case, journal, and globe. MachineGames recently revealed their Indy adventure is their longest game to date and features nearly four hours of cutscenes. For those interested in playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PC, a $1 PC Game Pass trial for new users will let you do just that. Those hoping to play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PlayStation 5, however, will have to wait until Spring 2025.
