MindsEye Receives Second Major Update Amidst Mixed Reception
2025-06-18 22:30:54Build a Rocket Boy has rolled out the second major update for MindsEye, demonstrating their commitment to refining the game based on player feedback. The June 18 patch is now available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms via Steam and Epic Games Store, with download sizes varying between 1.6 GB to 5.4 GB depending on the platform.
This update follows closely behind the first post-launch patch released just days prior, which focused on memory optimization and performance enhancements for both CPU and GPU. The developers have already announced plans for a third update before month's end, promising further improvements to game stability, difficulty balancing, animation fixes, and AI behavior.
Despite these efforts, MindsEye continues to struggle with its reputation, currently holding the title of 2025's worst-reviewed game with a Metacritic score of 37. Critics have highlighted numerous technical issues alongside criticisms of shallow gameplay and poorly designed missions. Interestingly, the game has shown surprising commercial performance in the UK, reaching fourth place in physical sales during its debut week.
