One of Xbox’s best recent games is officially heading to Nintendo’s next console: Bethesda and MachineGames will bring Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to Switch 2 in 2026, making the action-adventure portable.

The most iconic archaeologist in cinema returned in 2024 with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a video game from MachineGames and Bethesda. Released in the unusual month of December—when big triple-A launches are rare—it quickly became one of the standout titles of the year. Now, after the release of the PS5 version just a few months ago, Bethesda has confirmed that Professor Jones’ latest digital expedition is also coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.

The game’s story takes place in the 1930s, shortly before World War II, where Indy is tasked with unraveling the mystery of a strange circle of power that has sparked the ambitions of rival factions. As fans would expect, players will travel through ancient temples, solve elaborate puzzles, and face off against ruthless enemies seeking to control powerful artifacts. This epic journey, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, is now confirmed for a Switch 2 release in 2026.

One of the main draws of this adaptation is how closely it adheres to the cinematic tone of the franchise. True to MachineGames’ style, the game blends story-driven sequences with third-person action and immersive first-person moments. Indy’s whip, revolver, and trademark ingenuity are once again front and center in a gameplay loop that mixes combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving in mysterious, atmospheric locations.

Optimized for Nintendo’s New Hardware

The biggest question, of course, is how the game will perform on Switch 2. According to Bethesda, this version is being designed to leverage the capabilities of the new hardware with improved visuals and smooth performance, whether playing docked or handheld. The studio emphasizes that this is not a basic port, but an optimized adaptation faithful to the spectacle of the original version.

With this announcement, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle immediately becomes one of the most anticipated games in the Switch 2’s launch window. For fans of the iconic adventurer, it’s the perfect chance to join Harrison Ford on one of his final digital journeys.
