What is the game and what does the PS5 version offer?
Bethesda describes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle as a first-person, single-player adventure set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Bethesda’s PS5 product information says the version uses DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers and describes stable 60 FPS and ray tracing on PS5; it describes native 4K and advanced ray tracing on PS5 Pro. These are platform-holder descriptions, not independent performance-test results. Bethesda’s game and edition information · PlayStation’s PS5 game page
