"MindsEye Tackles Performance Issues Non-Stop Post-Launch"

The MindsEye development team at Build a Rocket Boy is working nonstop to resolve ongoing performance issues following the game’s rocky launch. Discover what players are reporting and how the developers intend to tackle these problems moving forward.

MindsEye Launches with Mixed Reception

Widespread Glitches, Bugs, and Performance Problems

MindsEye officially launched on June 10, but it quickly became apparent that the game was far from polished. Players across social media platforms have flooded forums and comment sections with reports of glitches, bugs, and poor performance. The frustration is evident, especially among fans who had high expectations for the title.

On Twitter (X), user Synth Potato shared a glitched screenshot of a character model gone wrong just one day after launch, captioning it with, "MindsEye is not looking too good." This sentiment was echoed by many others in the replies, with some players noting severe stuttering even on more powerful hardware like the PlayStation 5 Pro.

Beyond screenshots, numerous gameplay clips have surfaced showing enemies running around aimlessly during combat, NPCs crashing or becoming heavily distorted, and players falling endlessly through the map floor. As a result, MindsEye has earned a “Mixed” review rating on Steam, with 60% of reviews marked as negative.

At Game8, we reviewed MindsEye and awarded it an overall score of 46 out of 100. Our verdict? The game shipped as a buggy, unoptimized experience that failed to meet basic expectations. Despite its ambitious vision and backing from publisher IO Interactive, the lack of polish and persistent technical issues severely impacted gameplay.
