Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Update 2: Improved Global Illumination, VRAM Optimization, and More

The latest update for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has rolled out, delivering significant enhancements for both PC and Xbox players. Update 2 aims to address several performance issues and graphical glitches while improving accessibility for players with less powerful GPUs.

PC-Specific Improvements: Better Support for Low VRAM GPUs

One of the standout updates for PC users is the introduction of support for GPUs with less than 8GB of VRAM. Previously, these cards couldn’t handle global illumination, leading to severely diminished visuals and performance. With this patch, NVIDIA DLSS fixes and optimizations for Frame Generation have been implemented, allowing lower VRAM GPUs to properly render the game. This ensures a smoother and more immersive experience for players using older hardware.

Xbox-Specific Improvements: Enhanced Global Illumination

For Xbox Series X|S users, the update brings notable improvements to Global Illumination, addressing issues where shadowed areas appeared overly bright. According to the official comparison screenshots shared by Bethesda, lighting is now more consistent, adding a richer depth to the game's environments. This adjustment is expected to enhance the game’s already cinematic visuals, making exploration more atmospheric.
