Indiana Jones: Great Circle Supports DLSS & Path Tracing at Launch; FSR Will Be Added Later

Expert Verified By

Full Path Tracing Has Been Added Now!

Story Highlight
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle supports DLSS 3.5 and full path tracing at launch, with AMD FSR to be added later. 
  • The game looks noticeably better with full ray tracing, but it also takes a huge hit on performance even on high-end Nvidia GPUs.
  • The entry finally came out on December 9th, 2024, with a positive reception for Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Despite many concerns, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has stood out to be a surprising hit of 2024. The gameplay is quite slow-paced yet immersive, with large open-world areas. MachineGames nailed the game’s visual elements before launch and also introduced DLSS 3.5 to help with performance.

However, the studio also gathered some criticism for failing to add AMD FSR at launch. Those using AMD GPUs still have to wait for one of the future updates to get the best-upscaled performance.

Why it matters: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle require FSR and DLSS to get the best performance with high graphics. Gamers with AMD GPUs are currently unable to enjoy the intended experience.

MachineGames introduced full path tracing to the Indiana Jones title before its launch in its Patch 1 update. However, the devs suggest a VRAM of at least 12 GB to enjoy the intended experience. It supports ray-traced sun shadows, reflections, and indirect illumination. A detailed comparison by YouTuber Tyrian reveals that the visual improvements are easily noticeable after turning everything on.

Even so, the sacrifices feel too great, as using the RTX 4080 also cuts frame rates by at least half. Turning on DLSS and DLSS Frame Generation considerably improves the performance.

All in all, many fans and veterans of the media franchise have enjoyed the chronicles of the great archeologist. Although graphical anomalies and other bugs—some of which have been already patched—have also hampered the experience for many players.
