MindsEye has been available for a few weeks and continues to receive regular updates, including new features, content, and bug fixes. Build a Rocket Boy has just released a new version, Update 3, which enhances the gameplay experience. Check out the MindsEye update 3 patch notes below.
MindsEye Update 3 Patch Notes
Update #3 is now live on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This update focuses on continued stability improvements and addressing community feedback. We’ve watched hundreds of hours of gameplay footage and reviewed player feedback across multiple channels to prioritize the most pressing issues and improve the experience for all our console players.
This update will also be coming soon to PC but has been delayed due to an issue discovered during testing. During our QA process, a regression was found within the PC version impacting performance. This performance regression does not affect the console versions. As part of our commitment to continually improving the game, we have decided to delay this update on PC until it is ready. As soon as we have more information on the release timing of the PC update, we will share this with the community.
Please see a detailed outline below of the improvements included in today’s console update. As always, please be aware that the list may contain some game and mission details that could be considered spoilers.
