Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is out on Nintendo Switch 2 today, with the game going live at 7AM ET. That timing is worth marking – this is an Xbox-published title, developed by MachineGames and released through Bethesda Softworks, now arriving on Nintendo hardware as part of Microsoft‘s ongoing multi-platform push.
The game originally launched on Xbox Series X|S and PC in December 2024, hitting an 87/100 on Metacritic and clearing 2 million units sold in its first month. The Switch 2 port was handled by Virtuos and targets 1080p at 60fps in docked mode – and as we covered previously, the technical implementation leans on DLSS upscaling to hit those numbers, which is an ambitious setup for a port of this scale.
If you’re planning to jump in today, the game is available both digitally and physically at $69.99. Digital pre-orders had already reached 150,000 units ahead of launch, so there’s a healthy audience waiting. The “Order of Giants” expansion – a new story chapter priced at $19.99 – launches alongside the base game, and anyone who pre-ordered picks up the Last Crusade Pack with a Travelling Suit skin and Lion Tamer Whip as a bonus. If you want a broader look at what else is available on the platform right now, our ranked guide to the best Switch 2 games in 2026 is worth a look.
The immediate thing to watch is how the DLSS implementation holds up under real-world player scrutiny – early impressions have been strong, but launch-day performance across varied hardware conditions will be the real test. A post-launch patch adding New Game+ and photo mode is already confirmed for later this month, which suggests MachineGames is treating this as an active release rather than a one-and-done port.
