Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is reportedly heading to Nintendo Switch 2 with DLSS upscaling in tow – and according to Nintendo Everything, who spoke directly with MachineGames creative director Axel Torvenius, the technical setup is more ambitious than many were expecting. It’s a meaningful detail for anyone wondering just how hard Switch 2 can push current-gen titles.
The reported specs break down like this: 1080p docked, 720p handheld, locked at 30 FPS throughout. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reportedly runs at its native resolution for most of the experience, with DLSS stepping in dynamically when the frame rate needs protecting – essentially acting as a safety net to keep that 1080p/720p target stable rather than letting resolution drop visibly. Torvenius told Nintendo Everything the 30 FPS lock was a deliberate choice, explaining it was made “to ensure that the player will have a strong, high-quality experience on the Switch 2 version that equals other consoles.” The only confirmed concession is a slight reduction in free-roaming NPC count in one area of the game – which, honestly, is a remarkably small asterisk for a port of this scale.
The context matters here. Switch 2’s NVIDIA-based hardware makes DLSS support possible in a way that was simply off the table for the original Switch, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is arguably one of the more demanding titles to land on the platform. Developers have been increasingly bold with Switch 2 ports – you can see how the lineup is shaping up across every Nintendo Switch 2 game available in 2026 – and this one, if the technical details hold up, looks like another genuine statement of intent for third-party support. Torvenius was unambiguous about where the team landed, stating they are “extremely happy that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2 is equal to other consoles.”
Early reaction from Nintendo fans tracking Switch 2’s third-party port quality has been warm, with the DLSS implementation drawing particular interest given how cleanly it appears to be integrated. The game is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12, 2026 – and if you’re weighing it against the rest of the platform’s lineup, our ranking of the best Nintendo Switch 2 games in 2026 is a solid place to start.
