MachineGames issues Update 8 Hotfix 1 for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, addressing stability on Nintendo Switch 2 and wider platform fixes
MachineGames has deployed Update 8 Hotfix 1 for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on June 12, 2026.
The small but focused patch targets several player-reported problems: it resolves two common crashes specific to the Nintendo Switch 2 port and delivers cross-platform fixes intended to improve general stability and reduce in-game stutters.
The studio published the official notes on its social channels, noting that the hotfix corrects issues observed since the game's most recent release.
Key fixes listed in the update include:
- Nintendo Switch 2: Resolved two frequent crash scenarios to improve overall game stability.
- All platforms: Corrected the ragdoll physics so enemies no longer rotate unnaturally when picked up or pop when recovering after being knocked down.
- All platforms: Addressed a brief stutter that could occur when a level initially loads.
These adjustments follow the game's arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 in May 2026 and come after the title’s broader multi-platform rollout.
MachineGames, working with publisher Bethesda, has emphasized rapid post-launch support for platform-specific issues; this hotfix is the latest example of that ongoing maintenance effort.
Critical and player reception for the Switch 2 port has been positive in key outlets.
In its review, Nintendo Life praised the Switch 2 version as a strong technical showing, describing the game as a globe-trotting adventure with satisfying melee, exploration, and puzzle design, and highlighting the production values and Troy Baker’s performance as a capable lead.
The review also acknowledged that the port experiences occasional performance hits, a point the new hotfix aims to mitigate.
For Nintendo Switch family owners, the patch should reduce instability and improve the play experience in sections previously affected by physics or loading hitches.
Players can check the Nintendo eShop or their platform’s update system to ensure Update 8 Hotfix 1 is applied.
MachineGames has signaled it will continue monitoring reports and issuing targeted fixes as needed.
