• Reviewed against Vulkan validation layers and fixed some minor issues to help safeguard against possible future driver updates.
• Fixed an issue where some specific reflections were too bright when using Ray Traced Reflections.

Upscalers and Frame Generation (PC)

• Frame Generation for Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR can now be utilized during cinematics.
• Fixed an issue where VRAM reserved for AMD FSR would not be released when switching from AMD FSR to a different upscaler.
• Fixed an issue where you would see ghosting in some cinematics if using HDR with Nvidia DLSS.
• Fixed an issue where brightest parts of the screen could look overexposed when using AMD FSR upscaling with HDR

HDR (All Platforms)

Misc Visuals (Platforms Noted Below)

• Ambient Occlusion from Hair, and the Contact Shadows on characters have been made slightly smoother, with less noise, on all platforms.

Missions (All Platforms)

Sukhothai

• Fixed an issue where Gina could get permanently stuck/left behind if you had entered a zipline while she was performing certain actions, therefore she could not join you on the zipline. If Gina has gone missing for you in your game, she will be where you last left her. If that is far away, getting in and out of your boat at a dock should teleport her back to you.
• Hitting the giant mushrooms with the Khmer Spears in the Nephilim Archive should now be easier to achieve.

Iraq

• Fixed an issue that could cause Indy to become invincible if completing the final Ancient Artifacts puzzle in the Ziggurat and then skipping the game credits.

• Added some more information to the descriptions of some PC Video settings to be more useful.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™ launched and invited millions of players to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. As we celebrate this milestone, we want to thank every single explorer who’s joined Indy on this unforgettable journey.

This past year has been nothing short of legendary. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has earned over 90 awards, including D.I.C.E.’s “Adventure Game of the Year,” GQ’s “Best Video Games of 2024” and IGN’s “Best Xbox Game of 2024.” It has also received nominations for this year’s Game Awards: “Best Action/Adventure” and Troy Baker for “Best Performance.” (Vote here!)

• Over 400 million photos taken in-game, capturing memories, clues and epic moments

• Over 4 million knockouts with the whip, proving Indy’s signature move never gets old

• More than 1 billion enemies taken down, because adventure doesn’t let anyone stand in its way

• And more!

New Features

• To switch to the new outfit, visit the “Outfit” tab in the Options menu and select the “Pankot Palace” outfit. Any other custom outfits you have from Pre-Order or Premium upgrades are also in this tab.

• Indy will wear this outfit whenever he isn’t wearing a disguise, or if the level requires a special outfit such as in Marshall College or in Nepal

• There’s still another new outfit to come in a future update… so stay tuned!

Bug fixes and game updates

• Fixed the VO balance on some scenes to make the speech more audible

• Fixed an issue where the game’s manual entries were incorrect about alternative outfits and whips

• Fixed an issue with power-saving mode on Xbox Series X|S that could cause it to activate in the middle of some videos

• Fixed an issue where the Fieldwork name for “A Mystery Begins” may not appear correctly in your Journal if you had already progressed beyond the Vatican when first purchasing the DLC.

Since the release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™ on Steam in December 2024 we have been blown away by the response. With incredible fan reaction and a winner of over 90 awards over the last nearly 12 months, we have been truly humbled by the game's reception and it couldn’t be clearer how much love there is for the famed archaeologist.

Masterfully blending first-person exploration with third-person cinematic moments, dynamic combat, stealth mechanics and ingenious puzzle-solving, MachineGames in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, have crafted a title that honors the filmic legacy of the series, while still forging new and original adventures for this most beloved, whip cracking hero. Combine that with the game’s thrilling narrative, rich musical score and stunning character performances, and we’d be delighted to be nominated as the Game of the Year in the 2025 Steam Awards, or in any category fans would consider it worthy of.

Thank you so much for your continued support.

We're thrilled that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been nominated at this year's The Game Awards! We received the following nominations:

• Best Action/Adventure Game

• Best Performance (Troy Baker as Indiana Jones)

Congrats to all our fellow nominees! We are honored to be nominated along with so many great games and creative teams.

You can cast your vote for this year's awards here!
