Bethesda reveals whether Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will have a physical edition or not
After some confusion about it, Bethesda has clarified information about physical editions of ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’ having a disc or not.
The news of the eventual arrival on PlayStation 5 of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle over the next year has not been the only information that has caused a stir about this long-awaited title these days. Bethesda Spain wrongly confirmed that the game would not contain a disc in the physical edition for Xbox Series X, which generated mostly negative reactions. Luckily, it was a mistake and the company has rectified the information, now sharing the correct information: only the collector’s edition of the game will contain a code instead of a disc, while Standard and Premium physical editions will contain a game disc.
Last Wednesday, August 21, 2024, Bethesda Spain used its social networks to announce the different versions available of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the next title in the saga that will be a completely original adventure and will not adapt any film from Harrison Ford specifically. It happens that the company mentioned at this time that the “physical format editions” of the game would not be such as they do not contain a disc, but instead would contain a download code to redeem in the Microsoft Store.
As many users indicated, simply having a box would not make it a “physical format” version if it included a download code instead of a physical medium on which to store the game. Fortunately, the next day the company clarified the situation, asserting that this previous publication was an error, and that the standard and premium editions of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Xbox Series do include a disc. However, the Collector’s Edition has a code instead of a disc, the most expensive of all and the one that includes the most extras.
In this way, Xbox fans and lovers of the physical format can breathe easy, because they will be able to purchase a copy of the title in this format for their console and thus not depend on the problems inherent to the digital format, such as a possible ban that causes permanent loss of access to all titles linked to an account or network connectivity problems that make it difficult or even impossible to download content.
What editions are there of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and what does each of them include?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be sold in several editions at different prices, and each of them includes a different amount of content:
