After over a month since its release on Xbox and PC, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is still grappling with a significant game-breaking bug. While minor bugs at launch are common, critical errors preventing game completion are typically addressed during QA testing. The persistence of this particular issue is perplexing and frustrating for players.
The problematic bug is linked to “The Blessed Pearl” quest, one of the game’s final missions. Players are required to climb ladders and navigate tight spaces to progress. However, a recurring glitch prevents Indiana Jones from performing these actions, effectively halting progress and leaving players stranded.

A peculiar workaround involving the character Sunan has emerged. Some players report that repeatedly interacting with Sunan in Sukhothai village can resolve the issue. Unfortunately, others find themselves soft-locked in earlier stages, unable even to reach this potential fix.
The bug was reported shortly after the game’s launch, yet remains unresolved. The issue’s persistence is underscored by personal experience, encountering the bug after nearly 30 hours of gameplay. This frustrating roadblock during the final quest has significantly impacted enjoyment of an otherwise engaging title.
The developer, MachineGames, has acknowledged the issue and is investigating a solution, though a concrete timeline for the next update remains unannounced. A swift patch is eagerly anticipated by affected players, offering a much-needed fix for this game-breaking bug.
