Indiana Jones and the Great Circle lands at No. 2 on Switch 2 in the UK boxed charts, behind Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. The Switch 2 release commands a 99% platform split, with PS5/Xbox near 0%, underscoring strong demand for big Switch 2 ports and cartridge-focused releases.
MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2 delivers a richly detailed, immersive first‑person adventure with strong writing, memorable characters, and open‑world exploration. While the port showcases impressive atmosphere and in‑world upgrades, it trims visuals and struggles with docked‑mode frame rate and occasional bugs, making it a standout Indy experience primarily for fans who don’t mind the port’s imperfections.

A 15-minute video surfaces showing the first pure Nintendo Switch 2 gameplay for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a first‑person single‑player adventure from MachineGames (exec. produced by Todd Howard) set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. The footage showcases Indy’s whip, stealth, and puzzle-solving across globe-spanning locations, combining linear narrative with open-area exploration as fans get an extended look beyond the prior trailer; Xbox Game Studios will bring the title to Xbox on May 12, 2026, with Switch 2 availability tied to the platform’s lineup.
The Great Circle on Switch 2 is a solid, feature-complete port: linear sections run smoothly and look stunning, while the open-world areas show frame-rate dips and texture pop-in; docked offers the best cinematic experience with 21:9 support, handheld performance remains impressive, and a full cartridge release is planned for May 12, 2026 at £59.99 / $69.99.
MachineGames confirms Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to Switch 2 on May 12 as a complete, one-to-one port running at 30fps. No content is cut or simplified; optimization keeps quality on par with Xbox Series S, with only background NPCs reduced. The release is in-house, features gyro/mouse support, and uses Troy Baker for Indy alongside Tony Todd’s notable contribution. The team stresses it’s a cartridge release, preserves the tone of the early Indy films, and hints at future Indy possibilities without committing to Harrison Ford.
Harrison Ford told Jimmy Kimmel that he has, in fact, had sex while listening to music from one of his films, though he didn’t specify which soundtrack. The moment came during a Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance after a clip from Ford’s Apple TV series Shrinking. Ford, 83, has five children from three marriages and has been married to Calista Flockhart since 2010.
Bethesda confirms Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will ship on Switch 2 as a cartridge (Polish language version downloaded separately; the Order of Giants DLC isn’t included on the cartridge), while other Bethesda titles won’t have true physical releases on Switch 2. Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, and Oblivion Remastered will use physical code-in-box editions; Fallout 4 goes digital on Feb 24, with physical releases for Fallout 4 and Skyrim on Apr 28, while Oblivion Remastered’s date is not yet announced.
