UK chart data for the week ending 16 May 2026 shows the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle debuting at No. 2, with a dominant 99% Switch 2 share (and No. 1 on the Switch 2 list), behind Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. A 3DS entry, Metroid: Samus Returns, sits at No. 1 for that format, while on the Switch 2 Top 20 Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is No. 16 and Outbound is No. 18.
Digital Foundry’s verdict on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Switch 2 is highly positive: the port leverages features like strand-based hair, screen-space reflections, and RTGI, with DLSS helping achieve a docked 1080p image. Most of the game sticks to a steady 30fps, though occasional drops occur in busy scenes and distant characters render at 15fps to optimize performance. Texture quality is slightly reduced to fit the 64GB cartridge, but the experience remains strong for a physical Switch 2 launch title.
Switch 2's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle port preserves ray-traced global illumination and uses a DLSS-like upscale, targeting 30fps with compressed textures to fit a 64GB cartridge. Docked, it runs 540–1080p and upscales to 1080p; handheld renders at 360–720p with some texture downgrades and NPCs limited to 15fps to save CPU. While frame-rate dips occur in busy areas, the port remains a faithful, well-engineered adaptation that competes well with Series S and PS5 in visual fidelity given the hardware constraints.
A new graphics comparison video pits Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series S, and PS5 Pro. Switch 2 edges the others in resolution thanks to DLSS, but runs at 30 FPS while the PS5 Pro and Series S versions target 60 FPS, with Switch 2 using slightly lower settings (distant geometry, shadows, vegetation). The game launches today on Switch 2 both physically and digitally.
Troy Baker explains the meticulous process of recreating Raiders of the Lost Ark's opening for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, including a two-Arri camera setup and precise blocking to mirror the cinematic moment; the approach earned praise from Baker and even impressed Harrison Ford, and the Switch 2 port is now available and holding up well.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on Switch 2 with solid 30fps performance, targeting 1080p docked and 720p handheld. The port uses DLSS upscaling and offers faithful visuals, strong character work, and responsive gyro/mouse controls, but it trades some high-end shadow quality and draw distance, and experiences occasional cutscene frame drops and loading hiccups. Overall it's a strong third-party conversion for Switch 2, though the Order of the Giants DLC is sold separately.
Nintendo's Switch 2 version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is listed at 59.7GB for the digital download, with The Order of Giants DLC adding 4.4GB. Prices are £59.99 / $69.99 for the base game and £17.99 / $19.99 for the DLC; pre-order bonuses include Indy outfits, and a physical cart edition is confirmed. The game releases May 12, 2026 on Switch 2.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 with a target of 30 FPS. The game runs at 1080p in docked mode and 720p in handheld, using a dynamic native resolution and DLSS to maintain visuals while keeping performance in parity with other consoles.
Digital Foundry’s early look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2 suggests the new hardware handles current-gen ports better than its predecessor, preserving core visuals like global illumination while making selective cuts (e.g., no screen-space reflections, possible reduced shadows). The game targets 30fps with reconstruction and motion blur to sustain image quality, and while not a direct PS5/Series X replica, it retains the core experience, positioning Switch 2 as a capable platform for ambitious cross-gen ports.
