Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on Nintendo Switch 2

moviesMay 12, 202616529

MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches on Nintendo Switch 2 today, arriving as a port critics call strong but imperfect. Reviewers praise its solid performance in both docked and handheld modes while noting reduced texture detail, longer load times, and occasional frame drops versus PS5 and PC. The release makes the full puzzle-driven adventure portable and serves as an early showcase of the Switch 2’s performance potential for big-budget action games.

I think it's fascinating that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2 is the only physical release that contains the game data

painfully ironic that the only game we can actually own is about collecting stolen artifacts.

It's very strange that a trillion dollar company can afford to put Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on a very expensive 64GB Game Card but apparently can't put the entire game on one or two affordable Blu-ray discs.

I think I see what you mean, it’s the only instance of this game on media that holds the game data.

I’m pretty sure Cyberpunk does as well

I personally would never flick a video as it’s against my moral code

I'm glad this is one of the few third party games to have the full game on the cartridge and not in key card. The full game is about 60 GB.

I reviewed (in progress, need a bit more time) the Switch 2 port of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for @nintendoinsider.bsky.social. Still a fantastic game. I included some PS5 and Steam Deck comparisons: www.nintendo-insider.com/indiana-jone...

The Nintendo Switch 2 third-party support is just phenomenal. These are all current games, and they all look very good on the console. Nintendo can effectively rely on third parties and indies to help fill a calendar year. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle just joined the list.

Ordered the Switch 2 version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The whole game is on the cartridge, making it the only way to physically own the whole game. PS5 and Xbox had a disc with basically a verification key on. Got to support physical media.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes the jump quite nicely to Switch 2. @jtsknight92.bsky.social has our full review: youtu.be/UhtANe2rB-4?...

And last but not least, the Switch 2 port of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. A fun game and a great story, but definitiely feels more like "this is a Switch port" than prior Switch 2 ports I've reviewed. comicbook.com/gaming/revie...

Here, that latest Indiana Jones game is out on Switch 2 today. It's fairly decent in places - bit boring. But, Sektori is also out on S2 today, and it's a fucking cracker, lads .

Exactly, if you only stick to principles when it's easy you don't have principles, you just have hobbies. It's also why for as good as the Indiana Jones and Great Circle, is I'm not getting the Switch 2 version because MS are immoral monsters aiding a genocide
