Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Switch 2)

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a single-player, first-person action-adventure from MachineGames and publisher Bethesda Softworks, and this page covers its Nintendo Switch 2 port of the game that originally launched in December 2024 on Xbox Series X|S and PC (with a PlayStation 5 release in 2025). The Switch 2 edition arrived on May 12, 2026, bringing the full game - an original story set in 1937 as Indy chases a globe-spanning mystery tied to the ancient sites of the 'Great Circle' - to Nintendo hardware. Unusually for a game of this scale, the physical release ships on a full game cartridge with all the data on the card rather than a Game-Key Card. The port launched to strong reviews as a faithful, well-running conversion.

Indy: Great Circle — frequently asked

When did Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release on Switch 2?
The Nintendo Switch 2 version launched on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, available both physically and digitally. That's roughly 17 months after the game's original December 2024 debut on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle single-player?
Yes. It is a purely single-player, first-person action-adventure with no multiplayer or co-op. Troy Baker voices Indy in an original 1937 story set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
Is the Switch 2 version the full game like Xbox and PS5?
Yes. The Switch 2 edition is the complete game with the same content as the Xbox, PC and PS5 versions, not a cut-down release. The full game ships on the physical cartridge, and the Premium Edition also bundles the Order of Giants story expansion.
Does Indiana Jones and the Great Circle run well on Switch 2?
Reviewers considered it an impressive port. It targets a locked 30fps at roughly 1080p docked and 720p handheld with DLSS, and frame rates hold up well with only occasional texture pop-in, though busier areas can show minor performance dips. Nintendo Life scored it 8/10.
Is the Order of Giants DLC included on Switch 2?
The Order of Giants story expansion is bundled with the $99.99 Premium Edition and released on Switch 2 the same day, May 12, 2026. Standard Edition owners can buy it separately as an add-on (about a 4.4 GB download).
