There have been huge anticipations regarding MindsEye, developed by studio Build a Rocket Boy and published by IO Interactive. We have heard the latter several times, thanks a the bald assassin, but it was the first project for the former.As the game was directed by founder of Rockstar North and former producer of GTA, Leslie Benzies, fans were ready to witness a masterpiece, just like the Grand Theft Auto series. But instead of following the path of GTA, MindsEye seems to be following the trails of Cyberpunk 2077.
PlayStation is refunding the MindsEye fans
MindsEye was released on June 10, 2025, with high ambitions and dreams to make a place in the gaming world. But it seems, the tables have turned over its head out of nowhere. Since the launch of this narrative-driven single-player third-person shooter, there have been only complaints for the fans. Many players stated that despite being released in 2025, this game is using outdated gameplay mechanics of the early-2010s shooters. On the other hand, glitches and bugs became constant to the game. Yes, as a newly launched game, these issues are quite normal. But the infestation had become so bad that some people didn’t even manage to try out the game. For example, NPCs are randomly floating in the game or cars are exploding out of nowhere, ragdoll distortions, and many more.
The game is so poorly optimized that even a powerful console like PS5 is unable to provide constant 30 FPS (which is also capped at that limit.)Amidst this turmoil, Build a Rocket Boy has acknowledged the situation with MindsEye and says it is “heartbroken” regarding everything happening around. The company has also promised the fans to be patient as it is planning to release the game’s first update between June 13 to June 15 on both PCs and consoles, which is the potential fix for all these persisting issues.
However, fans don't seem to be pretty patient in this scenario as many of them have already started demanding refunds for their piece. Just like in the case of Cyberpunk 2077, many of those fans have already started getting refunds as well. You can get yours as well. All you need to do is to go to the PlayStation Support and ask about the refund for your MindsEye copy. After verifying some details, PlayStation will refund you back.Read More:4 new wanted level mechanics in GTA 6 that fans want to see
