Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12, and developer MachineGames has confirmed a suite of input options tailored for Nintendo’s next-gen handheld hardware. The studio announced that the Switch 2 version will support gyro-based motion aiming for both Joy-Con 2 and the Pro Controller, and will add full mouse control functionality via Joy-Con 2 as part of a day-one update. Background and launch details Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is developed by MachineGames, known for narrative-driven first-person titles. The Switch 2 port is scheduled to launch on May 12. Ahead of release, MachineGames used its official X account to answer fan questions and outline control features specific to Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. Motion and mouse support explained MachineGames stated that it implemented two motion control options. First, gyro-assisted aiming is available when using Joy-Con 2 or the Pro Controller, intended to complement the title’s first-person perspective by allowing fine, subtle adjustments to aim and look sensitivity. Second, full mouse controls will be possible using Joy-Con 2 input—this functionality is included in the day-one update at launch. Both motion and mouse modes will include exposed customization settings so players can fine-tune sensitivity and behavior to their preference. The studio also noted that full controller remapping is available, ensuring players can personalize how the game handles across input types. Developer communication and coverage The details were published on MachineGames’ official X account during a community Q&A. The developer’s disclosure confirms the day-one timing for the mouse-control feature and clarifies that motion aiming is supported on both Joy-Con 2 and the Pro Controller. Last week, the site’s editorial team also spoke with MachineGames creative director Axel Torvenius about the game’s design and platform decisions; that interview provides additional context for the Switch 2 release.
