Indiana Jones launch tops UK Switch 2 sales chart

Bethesda Softworks’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle opened at No. 2 in the UK boxed all-formats chart after launching on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12, according to Nintendo Life’s weekly chart report published Monday. The report said the game was the highest-charting Switch 2 title in the latest UK physical rankings, finishing behind Tomodachi Life. Nintendo’s UK store page lists the Switch 2 version as released on May 12 at £59.99, confirming the timing of the new platform launch. ### Which chart did the game top, and which one did it not? Nintendo Life’s May 18 UK chart report said Indiana Jones and the Great Circle debuted at No. 2 in the overall boxed Top 40. The same report said the game “vastly outsold” other versions on a platform-split basis, making the new Switch 2 edition the leading Nintendo Switch 2 entry in that week’s chart. (nintendolife.com) Tomodachi Life held the No. 1 position in the overall UK boxed ranking, according to the same report. That means the game did not top the all-formats physical chart, even though it led the field among Switch 2 titles in the list cited by Nintendo Life. ### When did the Switch 2 version actually go on sale? (nintendolife.com) Nintendo’s UK product page lists May 12, 2026, as the release date for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2. Nintendo’s U.S. store page also shows the game as available for Nintendo Switch 2, while Bethesda’s purchase page says the title is “Now Available on Nintendo Switch 2.” (nintendolife.com) GameLuster reported on May 12 that the Switch 2 version would go live at 7 a.m. Eastern time. That report described the game as an Xbox-published title developed by MachineGames and released through Bethesda Softworks, arriving on Nintendo hardware as part of Microsoft’s broader multiplatform release strategy. (nintendo.com) ### Who made the game, and what version is charting? MachineGames developed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Bethesda Softworks published it, according to Nintendo Life’s game listing and Nintendo’s store pages. The Switch 2 edition is a single-player action-adventure release tied to the Indiana Jones film franchise and set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, according to Nintendo’s description. (gameluster.com) Bethesda said in a February update on its Fallout site that story DLC, “The Order of Giants,” would also be available on May 12. That placed the Switch 2 launch inside a wider Bethesda rollout for the title on Nintendo’s new hardware. ### Why did the UK result draw attention this week? (nintendolife.com) The UK chart showing came in the first week of availability for the Switch 2 version, giving the game an immediate sales marker in one of Europe’s most watched physical markets. Nintendo Life framed the result as a strong opening for the port, noting that the platform split favored the new Nintendo version over other editions sold that week. (fallout.bethesda.net) Nintendo priced the game at £59.99 in the UK and $69.99 in the United States, according to Nintendo Life’s database entry and Nintendo’s store pages. Those listings put the Switch 2 release in line with premium new-release pricing on the platform. ### Where can readers track what happens next? (nintendolife.com) Nintendo’s UK store page continues to host the Switch 2 product listing, while Bethesda’s Indiana Jones site carries game updates and post-launch notices. Nintendo Life publishes the UK boxed chart roundup each Monday, making the next weekly chart the next public checkpoint for whether the game holds its position. (nintendo.com) (nintendolife.com)
