www.eurogamer.net
Developer MachineGames' steady finessing of last year's stellar Indiana Jones and the Great Circle continues today with the launch a third major update for the acclaimed third-person action-adventure. This time around, there's support for a range of new graphics features on PC - including DLSS 4 - as well as the usually array of bug fixes and more.Starting with those graphics features, there's that DLSS 4 support, giving PC players access to the likes of transformer-based Multi Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction, and updated versions of DLAA and DLSS Super Resolution - provided their hardware supports them.Update 3 also includes a new option for ray-traced shadows that utilises all light sources within a player's surroundings (as opposed to just the sun) when Path Tracing is enabled. Additionally, Path Tracing is now available on Intel and AMD GPUs, and there's support for AMD 3.1 upscaling and frame generation, as well as Intel XESS 1.4 upscaling.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Eurogamer's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle review.Watch on YouTubeAway from the PC-specific new features, all platforms get an extensive helping of quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Repair kits can, for instance, now be used directly from the inventory, rather than only after selecting a broken weapon or tool.And as for what's next, other than Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's still undated PS5 release, MachineGames says Nvidia RTX hair support is coming in a future update, and it's also looking into adding support for community requested features such as HUD modification.Of course, if you've read all this and somehow still don't know what an Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is, allow me to point you toward Eurogamer's five star review, which called it a "stealth action tour de force" and a "bold new era for MachineGames". That was before we crowned it our Game of 2024 too.
