Indiana Jones And The Great Circle’s First Update Adds Path Tracing, Better Whip Behavior
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Hold on to your potatoes, because developer MachineGames has released the first patch for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The update adds path tracing for select Nvidia cards, improved whip behavior, and a host of gameplay fixes, as detailed in the full patch notes below.
On Bethesda’s website, MachineGames provided a laundry list of improvements for the action-adventure game, headlined by path tracing for PC players. Think of this feature–which is also in the works for AMD cards, according to the developer–as a souped-up version of ray tracing. That means, for example, offering even more realistic lighting sources and reflections. However, you need the hardware to support it, as the developer says at least 12GB VRAM is needed.
Keep in mind that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle already wows on consoles with ray tracing and steady 60fps performance, per Digital Foundry. So, ray tracing is already a core part of the game’s presentation.
