The CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, made a shocking announcement at the 2024 Gamescom. Spencer revealed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which was initially announced to be an Xbox exclusive, will also be released on PlayStation 5.
Most Xbox fans are unhappy with the announcement as Spencer’s social media posts’ comment section is filled with hate. In one of his latest tweets, Spencer announced that Mecha BREAK will be coming to Xbox consoles new year, but it seems like the community doesn’t care about that anymore.

Phil Spencer is currently getting blasted in the comment sections of his own social media posts as the recent announcements regarding Indiana Jones and the Great Circle have left the Xbox community extremely disappointed.

Spencer shared that he tried out Mecha BREAK and is excited about its release on Xbox consoles, but the community ignored what he had to say and bashed him once again.
It over. Everyone knows. It no longer Xbox. It's now Microsoft Gaming. The Soul of Xbox is dead… RIP old friend. pic.twitter.com/kdFEgYZXhF

The community believes that Xbox is no longer Xbox as it has completely lost what it was truly known for. Under Spencer’s plan, Xbox is now heading in a different direction and it’s quite evident that the end goal here is to make money instead of satisfying the fans.
I might as well sell my Xbox for a PS5 since all the games are going there anyway

Xbox fans are disappointed that Microsoft Gaming has taken the decision to share Xbox’s one of the most anticipated games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, with Sony.
Xbox has indeed changed drastically in the past few years. Many fans believe that it has adopted a new strategy that prioritizes money over the fanbase.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Is Coming To PS5 In Spring 2025
The backlash has stemmed from an announcement that was made during the Gamescom 2024. During the event, it was revealed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, will also be released on PlayStation 5 next year.
Spencer later supported the company’s decision, claiming that the industry is “changing.” Judging by his statements, it’s safe to say that this is just the beginning as he believes that gamers need to understand that there will be many changes in terms of how video games are built and distributed.
It’s no secret that industry giants are struggling to recoup their investments and this is quite possibly the best way to churn out some profits. Spencer has made it clear that they are running a business, so the changes in their strategy were a necessary move.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is all set to release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on December 9, 2024, while the PS5 version will be released in Spring 2025.
