The highly anticipated Update 3 for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has landed on PC and Xbox Series X/S, bringing a host of improvements to the acclaimed action-adventure title.  Since its December 2024 launch, the game has enjoyed immense popularity, but certain bugs hampered the end-game experience for some players.  This update aims to rectify those issues and further refine the visual presentation.

Following a successful launch that saw over four million players embark on adventures as the iconic archaeologist by January 2025, developer MachineGames and publisher Bethesda continue their commitment to enhancing the game.  With a PlayStation 5 release planned for the first half of 2025, this update prepares the ground for an even wider audience.

Update 3's focus is twofold: addressing critical bugs and boosting graphical fidelity.  PC players will benefit significantly from the addition of Nvidia DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Ray Reconstruction, promising smoother framerates and enhanced image quality.  Several bugs that prevented players from achieving 100% completion have been squashed, along with various graphical glitches.  A welcome quality-of-life change allows players to use repair kits directly from their inventory.

The continued success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, coupled with reports of Disney's interest in more Indiana Jones games, suggests a bright future for the franchise.  MachineGames, currently working on several unannounced projects including a rumored Wolfenstein 3 and potentially a new IP, seems poised to continue its successful partnership with the Indiana Jones license.

While a PlayStation 5 port is expected in the first half of 2025, an official release date remains elusive.  Xbox boss Phil Spencer has indicated that bringing the game to PlayStation 5 is a strategic business decision, aligning with Microsoft's multiplatform approach.
