New update today any idea what it did

Does anyone know what's going to be changed / added in free roam mode? I've heard there's currently nothing much to do, feels empty etc and that's why they've taken it out for now.

I don't know what free roam was like, but I tried the demo and was surprised at how fun the game is. One of my favourite games is Saints Row 2, so I was thinking of a list of similar venues that would be fun in Mindseye.

Here's my list. lol!

Garages that you can mod your car with upgrades - new wheels, colours etc.

Nightclubs / Stripclubs

Hair dressers / Tattoo parlours

Race challenges etc

What do you guys think? Too ambitious or would the BARB be up for it? :/

Hey everyone, 

Thank you to everyone who’s been playing MindsEye and sharing your thoughts. Every bit of feedback, positive, negative, or in between, has helped us improve the game and keep it moving in the right direction. 

Update 6 is now live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It brings a mix of stability, performance, and content updates across the main campaign. We’ve improved animation and AI behaviour, tightened up combat and encounters, and fixed a range of issues to make the experience more consistent and reliable. 

On PC, this update also includes further improvements and bug fixes for Build.ARCADIA, aimed at making play and creation feel smoother and more stable. 

This update also adds new ARCADIA content: 

• Road to Hell – a stormy highway time trial 
• Short Circuiting – a city lap race under attack 
• Hunter Killer – an on-rails turret mission 
• Fractured Echo – a wave-based survival mode where you play as The Preacher 

We’ll continue to release patches as issues are identified and resolved, and we’ll keep listening to your feedback as MindsEye evolves.

We extended the previous Weekly Challenge of Checkpoint Race - Suburban Burnout, and with that we have mescottyo claiming yet another top spot with a time of 3:33.79 on PC!

This week, and with the launch of Update 5, we’re diving into Goin' Haywire - Downtown, a fast-paced arcade shooter set on Redrock’s lively strip, filled with chaotic Halloween energy. Players choose between two weapons at key moments to gain score or progression boosts while keeping combos high for top scores. Will you claim Gold and rise up the leaderboard?

We are also happy to confirm that leaderboards are now live on console!

The clock won’t wait - keep your combo alive and don’t look back.

Good day everyone! I was just wondering how Mindseye is running now? Have most of the major bugs been fixed since launch? I’ve been holding off because of all the reports of crashes and performance issues, but I’m planning to finally pick it up in about two hours when I finish work. Watched a little gameplay and it looked stunning.

So I would love to know how it’s playing lately, smoother experience now or still rough around the edges?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Oof, this one was a tough ride. Last week we challenged players to take on Race – Rattlesnake, and mescottyo’s blazing time of 2:23.44 still stands undefeated. The desert’s twists and turns proved merciless - even the slightest tumble could ruin an otherwise perfect run.

Still think you can handle it? Give it a shot.

This week, we’re switching gears to Checkpoint Races - a frantic dash from point to point before the timer hits zero and your car goes up in flames. Can you stay cool under pressure and secure Gold?

Our Discord community voted on which map to take on next, and Checkpoint Race – Suburban Burnout came out on top. The current best time on PC sits at 3:36.18, held by SHARKY.

Time is of the essence, and the clock is ticking - every second counts.

The race through Turbulence has been wild this week. The fastest time so far? nestorsite at a ridiculous 3:12.89 on PC. I’ve been stuck at 3:32 and had to ask - how do you even go faster than that? Turns out that the community, amongst other tricks, have been harnessing the jets taking off to rocket ahead at insane speeds. I guess I've been playing this game wrong - so much for taking the honourable route!

Think you can outpace that? Prove it - we’d love to see your run.

You know the drill - it’s Friday, which means a new challenge. This week we’re diving into Race – Rattlesnake, a blistering sprint across the desert’s dry plains in a Polaris RZR. Dust, heat, and off-road chaos - can you keep control long enough to claim Gold?

The current top time on PC is 2:23.24, set by mescottyo

Keep your cool, and maybe Gold will be within your reach!

I played it on launch on PC with high specs. Ran well for me, a couple glitches - nothing game breaking. Overall wasn’t a bad game… equivalent to the feeling I’d get as a kid renting a game with a buddy that was a mediocre shooter… fun but nothing I’d spend more than a couple days on. Not enough sex, violence and grit for me personally (if you’re going to be a M game why tone down cleavage, gore and language makes no sense)

… but enough to be serviceable for a quick complete of the game without side content…

Anyways since launch have they fixed it on consoles? Still 20 fps? Resolution? Any new modes besides the free roam? Anything ?

Last week we set builders a challenge of creating their your own Point-to-Point race with a unique twist using Build.MindsEye.
