MachineGames and Bethesda aren’t wasting any time polishing their upcoming action-adventure title. Just hours before its official release, they’ve dropped a substantial update that’ll make Dr. Jones’s newest expedition even more visually stunning.

What’s New in Update 1?

The hefty 12GB patch brings several noteworthy improvements, with full ray tracing (path tracing) stealing the spotlight. PC gamers with high-end NVIDIA graphics cards sporting at least 12GB VRAM can now experience enhanced lighting effects that’ll make every ancient temple and mysterious artifact pop with unprecedented realism. AMD users needn’t worry – they’ll get their turn to enable this feature in a future update.

Beyond the Visual Upgrade

The update doesn’t stop at prettier graphics. Players can expect:

• Refined user interface elements
• Gameplay improvements
• Better overall performance
• Various bug fixes

Early access players who’ve purchased premium editions can already download and test these improvements. The full patch notes are available on Bethesda’s official website.

Release Details

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches December 9th on PC and Xbox Series consoles, with immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass. PlayStation 5 fans will need to wait until spring to join the adventure.

The game has already received glowing reviews from critics, suggesting that this first-day patch is more about perfecting an already solid experience rather than fixing critical issues. It’s refreshing to see developers committed to delivering the best possible version of their game right from launch day.
