Indiana Jones launches on Switch 2

Bethesda and Nintendo have put Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Nintendo Switch 2, adding the MachineGames adventure to the new console’s release slate. Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists the game as a digital Switch 2 edition, and Bethesda’s official Indiana Jones site says it is “now available” on the platform. Nintendo had previously said in a February 5 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase post that the game would arrive on May 12, 2026, in both physical and digital formats. The release gives Switch 2 owners access to a game that Bethesda and MachineGames had already positioned as one of the publisher’s larger 2026 Nintendo launches. Bethesda’s Switch 2 roadmap post from February said Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was among several titles coming to the system this year. A Bethesda Update 8 post dated May 12 said the patch included the “day one update for Nintendo Switch 2.” (nintendo.com) ### When did the Switch 2 version actually go live? Nintendo said on February 5 that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle would launch on Switch 2 on May 12, 2026, both physically and digitally.

(fallout.bethesda.net) Bethesda’s news page also carries an item labeled “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Available Now on Nintendo Switch 2,” and the company’s events page lists the Switch 2 launch as “Live Now.” Those official postings support that the game is already on sale, even though some secondary coverage cited May 17 publication dates. ### What does Nintendo’s store page show for buyers? (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists Indiana Jones and the Great Circle as a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition digital release with a file size of 57.3 GB. The page says the game supports TV mode, tabletop mode and handheld mode, and it carries an ESRB descriptor set that includes blood and gore, drug reference, mild language and violence. (bethesda.net) Nintendo’s description says the game is a first-person, single-player adventure set in 1937 between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. The company’s store copy also says players travel from Marshall College to the Vatican, Egypt and Sukhothai while using Indy’s whip for traversal, combat and puzzle-solving.
