With Bethesda and Machine Games’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle set to launch for Xbox and PC on December 9th, 2024, the official PC requirements have now been revealed.
As with many recent PC releases, the game comes with hefty hardware demands. Notably, it requires 32GB of RAM—well above the minimum specs—and Ray Tracing capability for players who want the ultimate visual experience.
It’s worth highlighting that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle doesn’t just include standard Ray Tracing but Full Ray Tracing, which explains the steep requirements for high-end performance. To enable this feature, you’ll need an Nvidia RTX 4070, 4080, or 4090, as DLSS is required. Unfortunately, AMD GPU users are excluded from enjoying Full Ray Tracing, as these cards aren’t supported.
Running the game at Ultra settings with Full Ray Tracing is no small feat—it’s enough to make many gaming rigs sweat. If you haven’t upgraded your hardware recently, now might be the time, as these requirements are truly demanding.
Update: After using all of my Bethesda contacts, I was able to reach someone at Bethesda and alert them about the incorrect processors listed under the Ultra PC requirements. Now, it has been corrected that if you want to play on the highest of the highest tiers, you’ll need either an Intel Core i9-13900K or AMD Ryzen 9 7900X. Prior it was listed as needing an Intel Core i7-13900K @ 3.0 GHz or better, or AMD Ryzen 7 7900X @ 4.7 GHz, which were due to typos. Those are some beefy requirements either way.
