We’re less than a week away from Indiana Jones’ next big adventure – in which the boulder-bothering, grail-quaffing archaeologist goes in search a big old circle – and ahead of release, developer MachineGames has shared PC specifications and, as a bonus, a new trailer.
The Great Circle in question (it’s in the title, so with probably relatively important as the game proceeds), is, as game director Jerk Gustafsson previously explained, “very real and mysterious”. It just so happens to connect many historical sites such as Giza, Easter Island, Sukhothai, and Nazca as it runs around the Earth’s circumference. And nobody has ever figured out why. Except, probably, Indiana Jones in about a week’s time.
And if you’re a PC player considering joining Indy on his big globe-trotting, first-person adventure, MachineGames has detailed exactly what kind of hardware you’ll need to have stuffed in your computer to ensure it runs at a satisfactory level. In all cases, you’ll be wanting to free up 120GB of storage, with full specs below.

As noted over on Bethesda’s blog post, Indy potentially comes in a little smaller on Xbox, with its basic install size weighing in at roughly 87GB. However, there’s an optional 45GB Higher Resolution Textures pack that’s installed by default on Xbox Series X.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Game Pass on Monday, 9th December, but it’ll be available form 6th December for anyone that pre-orders the Premium Edition, Premium Edition Upgrade, or Collector’s Edition – you’ll find specific release times over here. As for PlayStation 5 owners, it’ll be available on Sony’s console in spring 2025.
Eurogamer’s Ian Higton positively vibrated with excited when he went hands-on with the Great Circle back in October. “I think it’s going to be something truly special,” he wrote, “and I can’t wait to play more of it.” Ian shared some additional thoughts in video form.
