Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Switch 2: Mouse Mode and Gyro Controls Confirmed

MachineGames has confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will support both Mouse Mode and gyro aiming on Nintendo Switch 2 when the port launches on May 12. The announcement follows a developer Q&A shared from the studio's Discord channel and reiterates technical details ahead of the game's Switch 2 release at a retail price of £59.99 / $69.99. Background and platform details Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda. The Switch 2 port continues the trend of bringing large-scale, cross-platform titles to Nintendo's next-generation hardware. MachineGames has emphasized control options as a priority for the Switch 2 release, reflecting the team's focus on accessibility and player preference across platforms. What MachineGames said about controls Executive producer John Jennings confirmed that both Mouse Mode and gyro controls will be available on Switch 2 and that Mouse Mode requires a day-one update. Jennings explained that combining these input options with the game's full controller remapping features should let players tailor the experience to their own play style, increasing accessibility and comfort for different control preferences. Creative director Axel Torvenius also discussed how these control options affect player perception and aim. He noted that gyro and mouse support, together with aim-assist tuning, can give players an alternative way to experience the game compared with other platforms, potentially enhancing immersion and precision without changing core gameplay mechanics. Cross-platform context MachineGames has made Mouse Mode available on PC and offered gyro support on the PS5 via the DualSense controller; the Switch 2 implementation aims to bring similar flexibility to Nintendo's hardware while allowing full customization through remapping. The studio clarified that the Mouse Mode and gyro functions are intended for aiming and looking around rather than enabling context-specific actions such as whipping. Launch and reception Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches on Switch 2 on May 12 at the stated price of £59.99 / $69.99. Early impressions of the Switch 2 port have been positive, with reviewers and players noting the control options and performance improvements as notable features. MachineGames' public comments and the confirmed day-one update for Mouse Mode give Switch 2 owners clear expectations for customization and accessibility on release day.
