Prior to its release on the Xbox Series X|S last year, Microsoft confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle would also be swinging its way onto PS5 in 2025. Sure enough, the game arrived in April of this year after 4 months of exclusivity on Xbox. Now Indiana Jones is set to take a (whip)crack at the Switch 2, with The Great Circle coming to Nintendo’s latest handheld-hybrid some time next year.
Announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Machine Games’ well-received first-person action-adventure title Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is officially coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 some time in 2026 – marking the first game from Microsoft to make the jump to Switch 2.
Of course, the Xbox console maker has brought other various games to Nintendo in the past, with the likes of Ori and the Blind Forest, Grounded and Pentiment all landing on the original Switch. That said, Indiana Jones should mark the first game developed for the Switch 2 specifically.
Interestingly, many fans expected Call of Duty to be the first Switch 2 game from Microsoft, as part of the Activision Blizzard acquisition terms required them to bring COD to Nintendo platforms. Of course, the upcoming Black Ops 7 could wind up coming to Switch 2 eventually, but not at launch.
As such, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle currently stands as the first Switch 2 title from Microsoft. It will be interesting to see how the game performs both technically and financially when it arrives on Nintendo’s platform sometime next year.
