In a bold move, Microsoft decided to share its Xbox titles with other platforms like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The anticipation was palpable as rumors swirled about big games making their way to new consoles. Titles like Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves made a mark, but fans were left wanting more from the lineup. However, the tide turned quickly as Microsoft dropped the bombshell announcement of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle coming to PS5. Despite the delayed launch compared to PC and Xbox, it marked a monumental shift in the gaming landscape. The excitement continued with the reveal of Forza Horizon 5, reigniting speculations about other titles like Starfield and Halo: The Master Chief Collection making the leap to new platforms.
The focus then shifted to how Indiana Jones and the Great Circle fared on the PS5 compared to other platforms. Developed on a fork of ID Tech 7, the game boasted stunning visuals and solid performance on PC and Xbox Series X. The transition to PS5 was seamless, with the game maintaining its visual splendor and rock-solid performance. Running at dynamic 4K and targeting 60 frames per second, the implementation of ray-traced global illumination was a standout feature. The game's exceptional lighting effects and sharp shadows added to the immersive experience, setting it apart from other titles struggling with ray tracing.
Comparing the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions revealed negligible differences, with both consoles delivering a near-constant 60fps during gameplay. Loading times and overall performance were on par, showcasing the excellent porting work done for both platforms. While minor pop-in issues were noted, the draw distance and level of detail remained impressive, especially during exploration sequences. Moving on to the comparison between the PS5 and PC versions, the dynamic resolution versus native 4K became more apparent. Despite the PC version emerging as the clear winner in terms of visual fidelity and performance, the differences were not earth-shattering, ensuring a great gaming experience across all platforms.
