Update #2 (June 10th, 10:15 am PT)

MindsEye has launched on PC, PS5, and XSX/S. Importantly, the game did receive a release patch on Microsoft consoles.

Update (June 10th, 04:25 am PT)

According to the latest reports, MindEye won't get a launch patch for the Xbox Series X/S due to delays in Xbox certification. An update of around 16 GB is coming with some "key final gameplay improvements, visual enhancements, performance, and stability fixes" (via MauroNL).

As part of Play.MindsEye, a dedicated platform where Build a Rocket Boy can send and share extra gameplay stuff like new side missions, races, and challenges, the creators promise dozens of extra hours of content for the game (via PCGamesN).

Original news (June 10th, 02:43 am PT)

In a few hours, MindsEye, an action-adventure game set in the near future with an open world, inspired by the GTA series, will launch.

The game will be released simultaneously on PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5.
The title will be unlocked in digital stores at 10:00 am PT.
The PC version will be sold on Steam and Epic Games Store for $59.99.
In both the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store, you will pay $59.99.

The game is getting a lot of attention because it's designed by Leslie Benzies, who used to be the head of Rockstar North and played a key role in creating the Grand Theft Auto series.

MindsEye clearly draws from the legacy of GTA, so everyone is curious about how the game will fare against this franchise. There is some concern about the fact that two important employees left the studio responsible for the project without giving a reason, a week before the release. The impressions from the shows are strongly mixed. Many people are, therefore, expecting a disaster. We will find out how it really is this evening.
