Indiana Jones Cracks His Whip On Switch 2 On 12th May 2026

Once they said Bethesda was making the final game announcements in the Direct, I knew that Elden Ring wouldn't appear.

This looked great. This summer is going to be PAKCED with great games.

This is the Switch 2 announcement I've been waiting for! My wife got me the PC collector's edition for Christmas, its pretty epic.

Looks like I'll be getting that Switch 2 sooner rather than later.

Very excited for Indiana Jones on Switch 2!

Nice, glad to see this got a release date. The footage looked great!

Also, good for those who wanted this on cartridge. That may help its sales prospects. Especially for the physical-purists.

I was really hoping they'd add a 3rd person mode b/c I just can't do first person view. I mean I suppose I can, but I really really really don't want to. Oh well.

A highlight of the showcase for me. This looked amazing. Cant wait to play it. 👍 ❤️

This game was amazing on PS5. Looked and played incredible. I shan’t double-dip… until it goes for under £20 with the (as of yet, unplayed) DLC

I still haven't bought this yet, was hoping for a price drop but the game never really went on sale. I love the movies so I'm thinking of getting this for Switch 2 instead of PS5.

How is this better looking than Fallout 4 and Oblivion? 😅

It's nice to finally see a (first-person) Uncharted game on a Nintendo console.

Are we getting a true physical release or just a crappy key card?

@TheRazor Highly doubt this will fit on a Switch cartridge... might as well just buy it digital unless you really like the physical packaging.

@antlion The scenery looks great, and the music and sound appear to be awesome, but from everything I’ve seen the animation looks like it came from late PS3/early PS4 days.

I can't wait, I love Troy Baker

Nice, but I'd like Emperor's Tomb on Switch 2, digitally.

This was the big announcement for me. A long-time Indiana Jones fan, this game has been frustratingly out-of-reach since my PC isn't quite up to snuff, and the Steam Deck can't handle it. Can not wait.

@Pak-Man Yeah, I've been in the same boat. I'd get this in a second and love Machine Games work, but my PC is getting a bit ragged these days and with RAM prices being what they are, I just haven't upgraded.

Looks like a better Indy story than the last two movies.

This looks so fun! if reviews are good on Switch I'm getting it as it is my kind of game

They should have got a proper cinema trailer voice on that video. Imagine it with "This year...." instead of Mr Happy Go Lucky (who isn't bad btw)

Crazy that this game has yet to even sell 500k copies.

Definitely a victim of bad timing releasing close to the disastrous Starfield.

@HolyGeez03 @TheRazor

Bethesda and machine games just confirmed this is NOT a game key card and the full game will be on cart.

So S2 is getting something Xbox and PS5 haven’t: this game fully on physical media.

Holy crap, an actual REAL Physical edition?? Wow...I'm impressed. This is now officially on my radar.

ORrrrrr... if you are an amazon prime member you can play it right now at no extra cost with their cloud gaming platform. FANTASTIC GAME

@Bizzyb I’m shocked too. I was going to pass on this since I already have it digitally for PS5, but now…

This is still on my playstation wishlist but maybe I'll go for the switch 2 version if the port is decent

This is a maybe for me.
But given the lack of games I've been interested in for the switch 2 so far, it might even be a probably...

They called it a cinematic game, no thx

I tried it on PS Plus, just not my type of game, looked good though.

@TheRazor it’s an actual physical

@TheRazor
I think you're right. I've watched in my phone earlier. Now I just watched in an OLED TV and it's almost the same as Fallout 4 and ES4 in terms of animations but has only better scenery.

I’m so conflicted here. Cause on one hand, Machinegames is one of the best developers working today and I LOVE that this amazing game finally has a proper physical release. On the other hand this goes to show Microsoft is largely a dogshit company that could make their games fully playable on disc if they wanted too. ***** not even the ps5 has a fully playable version of the great circle on it.

@Myggen I promise you it’s not a “Sony Game”.

@FX29 if you value physical media S2 is the one to get it on.

@rjejr it would just be another tomb raider/uncharted clone if they did that

@Myggen what does cinematic mean to you?

This is going to be the only real physical version of the game.

Yeah, the fact that this is going to be a full physical release makes me infinitely more interested in this game. Definitely keeping tabs on this one now. Hope it's good.

Nice! Gonna buy it to support physical gaming.

@Fishmasterflex96
Ya it's interesting that they confirmed the Switch 2 version is full physical, that alone gives me a reason to buy it over the other versions.

I've been enjoying this one on the PC. I'll be happy to get a physical copy of this for the Switch 2.

I'll get this because it is physical.

@Fishmasterflex96 The transfer speed of a S2 cartridge is roughly 4x (400MB/s) faster than the optical drives of the PS5 and X-Box whatever. Even if that were fast enough, toss in seek times, and it wouldn’t be playable from a disc. Now selling it on a disc and making it download to your SSD is another topic.

@TheRazor you have to install all ps5 games from a disc, even the ones that don’t require an internet download. You still have to install the game onto the console.

@Fishmasterflex96 Correct, I was responding to your, “they could make playable games on disc if they wanted to.”

We might be saying the same thing. They could fit the entire game on a disc if they wanted to, but you would still have to install it on to your SSD. They chose not to do that at all for X-Box and only partially for PS5.

@TheRazor yup we are saying the same overall thing. Even having a fully playable build on disc would be be enough for most physical fans.
