The physical PS5 version of Indiana Jones and the large circle needs an internet connection for a certain reason.
It is not welcome in single player games if they are dependent on an internet connection; This regularly leads to harsh criticism in the community. Even Indiana Jones and the large circle on the PS5 should not go by without a trace-because the single player hit is also dependent on such internet connections in the disc version.
Now it has been confirmed that the classic disc version of Indiana Jones and the large circle on the Sony console cannot be started without such an internet connection; Accordingly, this is necessary at least when the start is first. Reason: by no means all game dates are actually included on the disc of the physical version.
Only 20 GB of game data are actually included on the DIC, all other files must be loaded from the network before the first games. In this respect, the DISC version only offers a manageable added value compared to the digital variant - and this is already angry with a number of players on the net.
Among other things, PS5 players criticize that the "Internet Connection Required" bathroom is not shown on the packaging in many online shops. A corresponding label can be seen on the packaging in the store, which indicates the necessary additional download. However, this can pass to buyers in online shops, which is why some players in Bethesda all blame.
The background to the circumstances should be that Microsoft and Bethesda have liked to do without a second disc in the packaging. In view of 125 GB, this would have been necessary for necessary game data and would have been sufficient. By avoiding the second disc - according to speculation - costs can finally be saved and profits maximize.
