Build A Rocket Boy, the developers behind MindsEye, have released an exciting new trailer for the game, setting a clear $59.99 price point and detailing the rich content players can expect at launch. Led by former Rockstar North veteran Leslie Benzies, the studio has confirmed that MindsEye will launch on June 10, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Set in the near-futuristic city of Redrock, MindsEye offers a compelling linear story campaign where players will take on the role of Jacob Diaz, a former soldier grappling with fragmented memories due to his mysterious MindsEye neural implant. As Jacob, players will unravel a deep conspiracy involving rogue AI, corporate greed, a rogue military, and a threat that endangers the very survival of humanity. The game's story is enhanced by state-of-the-art visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, promising a visually stunning experience.
One of the most intriguing features of MindsEye is its PC-only game creation system, which empowers players to craft their own experiences using the game's assets. This tool opens up a world of possibilities for creative gameplay and community-driven content.
The $59.99 price is positioned as a "refreshing departure from the standard $70~$80 AAA price tag," offering significant value to players. For this price, players will get the main linear story campaign, single-player free roam, and a variety of missions at launch. These include a horde mode mission titled "Destruction Site Shootout," two combat missions, "Honor Amongst Thieves" and "Friendly Fire," six races, six checkpoint races, and three drone races. Those who opt for the premium pass will enjoy an additional horde mode mission and an exotic cosmetics pack.
The pricing of video games remains a hot topic in the industry, with recent moves by Nintendo and Microsoft to increase prices to $80 for their major titles. Other companies like Gearbox are also in the spotlight due to debates over pricing strategies. Meanwhile, mid-range games such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and 2K's upcoming Mafia: The Old Country have seen success at the $50 price point. MindsEye, priced at $59.99, finds itself in a unique position between these price points.

Beyond the launch content, Build A Rocket Boy has ambitious plans for MindsEye post-launch. The studio promises a "constant stream" of fresh premium content delivered monthly, ensuring the game remains a "living, ever-expanding player experience." This includes new missions, challenges, and game assets. The continuous stream of studio-developed content, along with the community's creative contributions, is set to keep MindsEye engaging and evolving for years to come.
Build A Rocket Boy has also outlined its 2025 roadmap for MindsEye. Summer updates will include community enhancements and new missions, followed by new single-player modes, multiplayer features, and additional missions in the fall. Winter will bring free roam updates and further missions. Premium pass holders can look forward to exclusive missions and new packs throughout the year.
