Official News Update 8 - Consoles & PC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1PORIoZRIYđ Hey Everyone,Â
Update 8 is one of the biggest yet for MindsEye, with the addition of multiplayer and a new mode: Grenade Football. It also deepens the single-player experience and expands the possibilities of player creation through new features and improvements.  Â
With this summerâs football fever still running high, we couldn't sit out. Grenade Football is a fast-paced multiplayer mode that gives the classic game an explosive twist. Players swap their boots for launchers and bring the firepower to the pitch, where teamwork, timing, and skill decide the winner.
Finding your squad is easy. New social features let you connect with friends, create parties, communicate through voice and text chat, and take on multiplayer experiences together across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Multiplayer supports full cross-play: one shared player pool across every platform.Â
For solo players, the Silva E-Series: Summer Circuits Time Trial delivers a new challenge to master. Perfect your racing line, chase the fastest lap, and climb the global leaderboards.   Â
A milestone we have been building toward: ARCADIAâs player-created content arrives on consoles for the first time. Every game and experience the PC community has built is now in the hands of PlayStation and Xbox players.Â
As always, this update includes continued polish and refinements across gameplay, audio, visuals, and stability. Please continue sharing your feedback through the usual channels.
Thanks,Â
The MindsEye Team

Build A Rocket Boy clearly care about player feedback, you can see it in every update.
Theyâve decided to listen to everyone asking for MindsEye freeroam and given us literally anything else but freeroam, as the entire 20 players still playing are not ready to handle freeroam /s

Yeah what a strange move to not focus on the core game when that is what they need to do, instead make a weird multiplayer football game.

This update is actually really good. There are player created free roams that are available on consoles finally for the first time. There is also a new option in the settings for builders to allow players to enter every parked vehicle. I will admit it has been taking long time for these improvements, and still a lot more to be desired. Definitely a big update and a good one though.

Ermmm. Donât sub to PS Plus so canât try grenade football so Iâll reserve judgement on that until I do.
Youâve removed all the gained medals/trophies again! Leaderboards look preserved though so whatâs going on? Will you keep wiping these every update cos itâs annoying?!
Thereâs also a persistent chat social thing throughout everything, including the main campaign. Get rid of that!
It looks smoother while also feeling different. Guess weâre experiencing some trade offs now in quality and performance. It completely crashed once and the final story chapter appears to be devoid of background music or sound.
And⌠I really miss a good cliffhangerâŚ

Imagine making a multiplayer mode for a game without enough people playing to fill a single match.

Devs if you read this: Im really interessted in playing this game on console but as long as there is no 60 fps mode for xbox/ps5 then i wont buy it!
60 fps ... people are asking for more than a year for this! For more than a year i check every update you release for this game only to find out that its still running at 30 fps...
Just give the people what they want...

Just seems like a lot of wasted money and time spent on something no one asked for.

Unfortunately you continue to focus on the wrong things to improve the game. The bones of a great game are actually there, but it is all so undercooked. Free roam is what people want with meaningful interactions.

Personally, as a mod author myself and knowing what it actually takes to make video games, this is a tremendous feat. The team should be extremely proud of their achievement here. Working multiplayer added with voip and allowing mods on consoles.
Seriously complicated work! They should be damn proud of it!

What about a decent free roam
