In a recent Nintendo Partner Direct, Bethesda confirmed that the highly anticipated game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, will be released on a physical Switch 2 Game Card, which has excited fans. Unlike other major titles by Bethesda such as Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which will only have 'code-in-a-box' physical editions, Indiana Jones is set for a full cartridge launch. This development showcases Nintendo's efforts to expand Game Cartridge options, addressing past criticisms regarding digital-based releases. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is scheduled to launch on May 12, 2026, alongside its DLC, The Order of Giants. Other Bethesda titles will follow a staggered digital and physical release schedule this year.

What other Bethesda games will be available on the Switch 2?

Alongside Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Bethesda will release Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the Switch 2. However, these titles will not be available on Game Cartridges, but rather as codes in a box, except for Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a thrilling entry into the franchise, promising an engaging storyline that stays true to the adventurous spirit of the series. As a significant part of Bethesda's upcoming lineup, this game leverages both modern tech and nostalgia, effectively drawing in long-time fans and new players alike. With its unique release on the Switch 2, it showcases the company’s commitment to enhancing user experience through physical formats.
