Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Standard Edition vs. Premium Edition

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Standard Edition vs. Premium Edition

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is slated to launch across Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PC (including Steam) on Dec. 9, 2024. There is a PlayStation 5 version on the way, but it’s coming later and is currently scheduled to arrive at some point in 2025.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is available in three different editions for the majority of players. The Standard Edition is just the game, and it’s available for $70. There’s also the Premium Edition, which is $100, and it includes the following extras:

There’s also the Premium Upgrade, which is available for $35. This upgrade includes all the extras in the Premium Edition, but it doesnotinclude the game. Instead, it’s meant to allow players who initially pick up the Standard Edition to get the Premium Edition goodies without having to buy a second copy of the game.

Indy is back, and he’ll need all his wits in order to solve a mystery spanning the Earth. As usual, nefarious Nazis stand in his way, but that’s nothing his whip and revolver can’t solve. Snakes, on the other hand, may present more of a challenge.
