Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will not run on video cards without hardware support for ray tracing

Game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will not run on graphics cards that do not have hardware support for ray tracing. Ray tracing is a mandatory feature and is enabled by default. It cannot be disabled, which makes running the game on graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GTX 1080 or AMD RX 5700 completely unavailable, despite similar performance to the models specified in the minimum system requirements.

Minimum requirements include NVIDIA RTX 2060 SUPER and AMD RX 6600, but the key differentiator is the presence of hardware ray tracing. A patch is expected on December 9 that will add support for full path tracing, which will further increase the hardware requirements.

Players planning to purchase the game are advised to ensure that their graphics card supports hardware ray tracing to avoid launch issues.
