There are also rumors ofHi-Fi Rushmaking a similar move. Some believe this is supported by an alleged datamine, which reportedly includes three in-game shirts that fans suspect refer to the game being released on other platforms.
Now, it’s beenclaimed by XboxEra’s sources that Bethesda’s enormous space-exploration role-playing gameStarfieldis planned to launch at some point in the future onPlayStation 5. It’s alleged that this will occur after the release ofStarfield’sShattered Spaceexpansion, which doesn’t yet have a release date.
In anew report, The Verge writes that, according to an anonymous source, Bethesda is weighing up bringing MachineGames’ upcoming first-person adventure game,Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, to PlayStation 5. According to the report, it’s believed that the Xbox and PC exclusivity period may be relatively short and that theupcoming gamecould arrive on PS5 several months after its release onXbox Series X|S and PC. The game doesn’t yet have a confirmed release date on Xbox or PC but is set to arrive at some point in 2024.
