The new game from Build A Rocket Boy, called MindsEye, had a rough start. The big sign of early issues was PlayStation giving money back to those who bought the game from its online store.
As more players shared videos of bugs and tough game play on the game's Reddit page, Build A Rocket Boy spoke up. They posted on their X account, sharing their sad feelings, saying they were "heartbroken that not every player got to enjoy the game like we wanted."
The game makers said many game issues came from a memory leak, hitting "about 1 in 10 of our players." They said a quick fix for this, plus other upgrades, would start reaching players by tomorrow. More updates are set for this weekend and the weeks after.
"Our whole team is working hard to make sure all our players have a good time," the studio's message added, stressing their goal to keep players updated and listen to their thoughts. "Thanks for playing MindsEye. Your understanding and ongoing support mean everything to us."
