Analysis of MindsEye Launch
MindsEye, developed by Build a Rocket Boy, was released on June 10th with high expectations due to the involvement of a key figure from the GTA series. However, despite generating buzz on forums and social media for its quality, the game failed to capture the attention of players.
Competitive Market and Sales Data
Ampere’s analysis of the gaming market in June 2025 revealed a competitive landscape with the release of several notable titles. While games like Mario Kart World saw great success, MindsEye struggled to attract a significant player base. Data shows that there are less than 250,000 MindsEye players, with a majority on PlayStation 5 and lower numbers on Xbox Series and PC platforms.
Challenges Faced by Build a Rocket Boy
Despite the quality of MindsEye, the lack of visibility and advertising may have contributed to its underperformance in the market. Build a Rocket Boy’s decision to lay off employees suggests that the game’s sales did not meet expectations, highlighting the challenges faced by the developer in making a successful debut in the gaming industry.
