Indiana Jones PS5 Is Selling Faster Than Xbox and PC, Claims Analysts

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which launched on PS5 earlier this month, is off to a remarkable beginning on Sony’s platform.

As per an extensive analysis by data analytics firm Alinea Analytics, the game has already sold more than 100,000 units on PlayStation, and it is surpassing its Steam launch counterpart.

While the firm hasn’t disclosed its exact approach, it promotes it as the “most precise on the market.” We intend to reach out to the company to gather further insights into how it is generating its data.

At present, though, the source indicates that MachineGames’ latest is moving faster on PS5 than it did on Xbox Series X|S and PC. This is particularly notable considering its late launch on Sony’s platform, following the initial marketing phase.

Alinea Analytics’ findings reveal that fewer consumers opted for Early Access on the four-month-old title, which makes sense, although since the PS5 version’s full official launch, it has significantly outperformed its Steam counterpart.

The report also asserts that the PS5 edition is selling quicker than its Xbox version, but this point becomes somewhat unclear due to the game’s availability on Game Pass.

It states that nearly five million Xbox players have engaged with the Indy adventure, but the “vast majority” accessed it through the subscription. It emphasizes that Game Pass ultimately “cannibalises” premium game sales, suggesting that this gamble isn’t advantageous for the company.

This intriguing report also explores potential overlap between those who purchased Indiana Jones on PS5 and those who have enjoyed other action-adventure titles, such as Uncharted and Tomb Raider. (As expected, it’s high.)

However, without insight into the underlying methodology behind the data, it’s challenging to draw definitive conclusions for the moment. What remains evident is that Indiana Jones PS5 is, at the very least, seemingly off to a robust start.
