Xbox and Bethesda will sponsor the BWT Alpine F1 team at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix this year with race cars featuring the design of Indiana Jones, as the race will take place this weekend in Austin, Texas, in collaboration ahead of the release of the game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle by Bethesda in December.
The cars and racing suits worn by drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon throughout the weekend “will feature intricate details inspired by the game,” including a map and other branded elements, according to a post on Xbox Wire blog.
Alpine team announced this collaboration earlier this week through a traveling truck across the country, and here is a video of the journey and a look at the cars.
The Xbox post states that “for the first time in F1 history, a complete video game will be integrated with an F1 team,” although it seems like Microsoft forgets that Atlus got there first a few weeks ago to celebrate the release of Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game will be released on December 9 for Xbox Series X/S and PC (with Premium and Collector’s Edition owners getting three days of early access). It will also be released on PS5 in Spring 2025.
We previously learned that the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game encourages players to “use their brains before their muscles.”
