Summary
Xbox has announced a new partnership with popular breakfast food restaurant chain IHOP that will allow customers to claim a copy ofIndiana Jones and the Great Circlewith enough IHOP PanCoins. Developed by the studio behind the latestWolfensteingames, MachineGames,Indiana Jones and the Great Circlehas just been released and has already garnered rave reviews. Many have been calling it one of the best games of 2024 despite it missing the cutoff for Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards, which go live this Thursday, December 12.
Just last month,Xbox and IHOP did a massive crossoverin the lead-up toIndiana Jones and the Great Circle’s release. Folks who dined at IHOP during this time had access to anIndiana Jones-themed breakfast food menu that included a variation of French toasts, hot chocolate, and a milkshake. IHOP also released limited edition Xbox-themed drinking glasses that depict popular Xbox franchises likeHalo,Sea of Thieves,Microsoft Flight Simulator,and, of course,Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. In return, Xbox made a custom IHOP-themed Series X console that it gave away as part of its crossover with the popular breakfast chain.
Now, withIndiana Jones and the Great Circleout the door,Xbox is partnering with IHOP once again, this time involving members of the restaurant chain’s loyalty program. IHOP customers who have 40 IHOP PanCoins can spend them to claim a digital copy ofIndiana Jones and the Great Circlefor Xbox or PC. The catch is that customers need to spend $5 to earn a single PanCoin, bringing the total amount of money one needs to spend to $200 to be able to take advantage of the offering.
IHOP Customers Can Spend 40 PanCoins to Claim Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circleisn’t the only Xbox game IHOP loyalty members can claim with PanCoins, asXbox’s pirate adventure sandboxSea of Thievesis also claimable at IHOP, as is a one-month subscription to Game Pass, which costs 15 PanCoins, or $75. SinceIndiana Jones and the Great Circleis readily available at no additional cost on Game Pass, and is also purchasable to own for $70, spending $200 at IHOP seems a bit steep for gamers who want to get their hands on a copy. With that said, this deal is perfect for IHOP customers who may already have a wealth of PanCoins stocked up and are looking for something to spend it on, or for those who might be just a few pancakes away from being able to claim a copy ofThe Great Circle.
Interested gamers who have the PanCoins already saved up should act fast, as there’s no telling when this offer will slip away.Indiana Jones and the Great Circleis planning to arrive on PlayStation 5at some point next year. When it does, it’s unlikely that the PS5 version will also be claimable at IHOP with PanCoins, as this seems to be an exclusive partnership with Xbox.
