Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the latest major first party release from Xbox Game Studios. Launching for the Xbox Series X|S and PC back in early December, we’ve now gotten our first details on how the game has performed commercially – with Microsoft confirming the title has surpassed 4 million total players.

As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings report, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella offered some recent updates on the Xbox brand. Alongside Black Ops 6 continuing to break records, Nadella revealed (as collated by analyst DomsPlaying) that Machine Games’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has reached an audience of over 4 million players.

Of course, being a first party Xbox title, the game was made available day-and-date on Game Pass, meaning it did not necessarily sell 4 million copies.

That said, with the game set to come to PlayStation this year, it will be interesting to see whether Microsoft will choose to share more concrete sales figures for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 in due time – assuming it sells well.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this announcement? Is 4 million lower or greater than you expected? How many copies do you think it will sell on PS5? Let us know down below.

It’s bizarre that a game featuring Hitler and Mussolini on their rise to power feels comforting, but here at least it is entirely permitted – indeed encouraged – to beat up Nazis

I have played many games that have great openings. Final Fantasy VII puts you in the middle of a raid. Mass Effect 2 introduces you to a world, then immediately destroys it. Sonic the Hedgehog bombards you with impossibly fast objects hurtling through a world of colourful danger.

I have never played a game in my life that starts by telling you not to be a Nazi. But that’s what greeted me when I played Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Before a single artefact was raided, before a whip was cracked, before you even see lead actor Troy Baker doing his best Harrison Ford impression in next generation graphics (amazing!), comes this warning:
