Hey everyone,
First off, Happy Holidays from all of us at the Build A Rocket Boy studio, and a big thank you to everyone who has been playing MindsEye this year, especially those who have taken the time to share their invaluable feedback and everyone for your ongoing support and encouragement.
We are listening carefully and will continue working to evolve your gaming experience. Update 6.1 is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, featuring further AI and animation enhancements, along with various other improvements and upgrades.
MindsEye is celebrating the festive season with two new Arcadia missions: Ultra Terminal: Goin’ Haywire, a Christmas-themed twist on the Goin’ Haywire series after its great reception from players, and So You Think You Can Fly: Sky Race. Additionally, a new Christmas asset pack has been added to Build.ARCADIA, so you can bring that holiday energy into your own crafted missions. We’ve also introduced new Arcadia Creator tutorials and addressed bugs in both MindsEye and Build.ARCADIA.
This is our final MindsEye update for 2025, but we’re not done yet. We are already working hard on some fresh updates to delight you in early 2026!
Thank you again for all your support this year – wishing you and yours a very happy, healthy and joy-packed 2026!
