Build A Rocket Boy, the studio founded by former Rockstar North veteran Leslie Benzies, has unveiled exciting new details about their upcoming title MindsEye. Scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, the game will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam and Epic Games Store at an attractive $59.99 price point.
What MindsEye Offers at Launch
The futuristic thriller features a meticulously crafted linear campaign set in Redrock City, where players assume the role of Jacob Diaz - a troubled veteran grappling with fragmented memories from his mysterious MindsEye neural implant. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game explores themes of corporate espionage, rogue AI, and military corruption through cutting-edge visuals.
Beyond the main story, MindsEye launches with substantial additional content:
- A single-player free roam mode
- Three combat missions including "Destruction Site Shootout" horde mode
- Six standard races and six checkpoint races
- Three drone racing challenges
The studio emphasizes its $59.99 pricing as a "welcome alternative" to increasingly expensive AAA releases, positioning MindsEye between premium $80 titles and mid-range $50 games.
Post-Launch Support and Roadmap
Build A Rocket Boy plans robust ongoing support with monthly premium content updates featuring:
- New story missions and gameplay challenges
- Additional game assets for PC creators
- Community spotlight features
The 2025 roadmap outlines major seasonal updates:
- Summer: Community updates and mission packs
- Fall: New single-player modes and multiplayer expansion
- Winter: Free roam enhancements and narrative DLC
Premium pass holders will receive exclusive missions and cosmetic packs throughout this update cycle, with the studio promising "decades of evolving content" through both official and community contributions.
The release comes during ongoing industry debates about game pricing, following recent $80 releases from major publishers. MindsEye's approach suggests a potential middle ground for high-quality, sustainably priced AAA experiences.
