Indiana Jones and the Great Circle requirements may put your PC in a museum — minimum requirements include ray-tracing GPU and a Core i7-10700K

Launching on December 9, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the latest Indiana Jones video game—but unlike past games, it's utilizing the latest id Tech 7 engine (also used by Doom Eternal) and being developed by Machine Games of modern Wolfenstein fame. Due to shipping with ray tracing as a minimum requirement, publisher Bethesda has revealed that the system requirements across the board are fairly demanding.

With ray tracing as a minimum requirement, GPUs without the feature have been left out entirely, and for "full ray tracing" or path tracing configurations, Machine Games doesn't even bother to mention AMD GPUs. Even minimum CPU requirements are pretty high— an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-10700K was enough for 144 Hz gaming. Still, it is only recommended for minimum settings configurations targeting 60 FPS. Though considering that the CPU requirements don't seem to change between the "Full Ray Tracing" enabled and Disabled requirements, they may be slightly inflated without "Full Ray Tracing."
