Have you heard the latest news about Indiana Jones And The Great Circle? It seems like the game is performing exceptionally well on PlayStation 5, leaving other platforms in the dust. In fact, it's been reported that it has sold more copies on PS5 and PC than any other format. But that's not surprising considering the impressive sales numbers for other PlayStation exclusives such as Forza Horizon 5. And let's not forget about the highly anticipated release of Doom, which is also coming to PS5. It's safe to say that Microsoft is becoming one of the biggest providers of quality games for PlayStation this year, much to the surprise of many fans.
Speaking of surprises, did you know that Sony has already announced a release date for Ghost Of Yōtei? It seems like many people were caught off guard by this, myself included. It's no wonder that many of us are scratching our heads and trying to understand Sony's decision-making process. And with no proper summer showcase in sight, some are even speculating that this could be a call for help from the higher-ups. Maybe they should consider letting PlayStation be sold to Xbox, who seems to be desperate for more control and has a plethora of games in the works. It's also worth noting that some of the best PlayStation 5 games lately have been former Xbox exclusives, which is quite interesting.
But let's not forget about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has been receiving rave reviews and is currently the highest rated game on Metacritic. What's even more impressive is that the developers are a team of ex-Ubisoft employees. It's a shame that Ubisoft didn't see their potential and let them go, but it seems like they're doing just fine on their own. And it's not surprising, considering that their game is the complete opposite of what Ubisoft usually produces. It's original, innovative, and has a very French feel to it. This just goes to show that sometimes, it's the smaller, independent developers who are creating the most interesting and unique games, not the big name publishers.
Moving on to a different topic, have you heard about the Golf Story offer? Many people were excited about the possibility of purchasing the game for just 2 pounds, but unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as that. One reader shared their experience, revealing that they had to have a Switch console in order to purchase the game through their account. It's a shame that there wasn't an option to purchase a digital code, as seen with other games. But at least they can add it to their wishlist and wait for a better offer, or maybe even the highly anticipated release of Everybody's Golf.
And speaking of releases, it seems like everyone is buzzing about the upcoming release of the Switch 2, which is set to launch in June. But some readers are skeptical about the timing, especially since summer is not usually a popular time for big game releases. Some speculate that it's because Nintendo is running out of new games to release, while others believe it's to steer clear of competition with Rockstar's highly anticipated game, GTA 6. But one reader shared their secret to securing a pre-order for the Switch 2, simply walking into a store and asking to pre-order one. Sometimes, it's just that easy.
On a final note, one reader shared their love for the game Shadow Hearts, reminiscing on the unique battle mechanisms and hoping for a remastered version in the future. While it may not be likely, it's always fun to look back on past favorites and remember the joy they brought us. Who knows, maybe one day we'll see a revival of Shadow Hearts or other beloved classics. It never hurts to dream.
Indiana Jones And The Great Circle – bigger on PS5
In this week's letters page, readers discuss the success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Microsoft's role as a third-party publisher. Teebo shares his thoughts on the sales of Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, while Cubby calls for Sony to seek help from Microsoft.

It's no surprise that Indiana Jones And The Great Circle has sold the most copies on PlayStation 5 and PC, given their popularity and accessibility. However, it's interesting to note the success of Forza Horizon 5, especially considering its release date and availability on Game Pass. While we cannot directly compare sales numbers, it's clear that Microsoft's focus on providing quality games has made them a major player in the gaming industry.
Many readers, including Teebo, were surprised by Sony's lack of a proper summer showcase this year. With the success of Clair Obscur, it seems that Sony may benefit from seeking help from Microsoft. Some even suggest allowing Microsoft to take over their software department, as many of the best PlayStation 5 games are former Xbox titles. It's a strange turn of events, but it goes to show that quality games can come from unexpected sources.
Speaking of unexpected sources, Sanky praises the uniqueness and innovation of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's refreshing to see a game that breaks away from the typical mold of major publishers, such as Ubisoft. Perhaps this success will inspire other developers to take risks and push the boundaries of gaming.
Moving on to a more practical matter, Charlie H shares their experience trying to purchase Golf Story on the Nintendo eShop. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so without a Switch console. Despite this setback, they remain hopeful for a future sale and eagerly anticipate the release of Everybody's Golf.
In other news, Chuck Rock speculates on the release date of the upcoming Switch 2. While some may believe that June is an odd time for a new console release, Chuck suggests that it may be to avoid competition with Rockstar's highly anticipated game, GTA 6.
Finally, a reader shares their love for the Shadow Hearts series and their hope for a remastered version. It's a timeless classic that has given many players hours of enjoyment, and it's a shame that it may never see a remastered release. Perhaps one day, our wish will come true.
