MindsEye is a narrative-driven action-adventure game that launched on June 10, 2025, across major gaming platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Windows PC ( Steam and Epic Games Store). MindsEye was created by Build A Rocket Boy, a Scottish studio known for its ambition and leadership under former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies. Publishing and distribution was handled by IOI Partners A/S, a division tied to IO Interactive, a studio behind the Hitman series.
The game puts you in the shoes of Jacob Diaz, a former soldier with a mysterious neural implant called the MindsEye. Struggling with fractured memories and flashbacks, Diaz must uncover the truth behind his implant while navigating the dystopian desert metropolis of Redrock City.
MindsEye was one of the most talked-about game releases of 2025. Expectations were high because it was created by a team with roots in blockbuster hits and built using Unreal Engine 5. The promise was a cinematic story, intense combat, high-speed driving, and deep world building.
The world of MindsEye is set in the near future, where technology and surveillance shape society. Redrock City is a sprawling, hot desert metropolis full of secrets and danger. As Jacob Diaz, players will weave through a branching story, uncovering conspiracies involving rogue AI, corrupt corporations, and powerful military forces.
MindsEye blends third-person shooting, vehicular combat, and exploration. The gameplay is cinematic and story-heavy, with cut scenes and high production value. Beyond the main campaign, the developers built creative tools (called Build.ARCADIA on PC) that let players create missions, new content, and custom experiences inside the game.
MindsEye System Requirements
MindsEye is a demanding game on PC because it uses Unreal Engine 5 and targets high visual fidelity. Here are the official system requirements:
Minimum Requirements
OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit) with latest updates
Processor: Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 2060 (6GB) or AMD RX 5600 XT
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 70 GB Available Space (SSD Required)
Recommended Requirements
OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit) with latest updates
Processor: Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 4070 or AMD RX 6800 XT
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 70 GB Available Space (SSD Required)
To run the game at minimum settings, your PC should be equipped with Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) with the latest updates installed. The processor should be at least an Intel Core i5-12400F or an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, paired with 16 GB of RAM to ensure smooth performance. A dedicated graphics card with at least 6 GB of VRAM is required, such as the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. DirectX 12 support is essential, and you’ll need at least 70 GB of available storage space on a solid-state drive (SSD), as an SSD is required for optimal loading times and game performance.
For the best experience, the recommended specifications include the same operating system—Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with the latest updates. The processor should be more powerful, such as an Intel Core i7-13700K or an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, again coupled with 16 GB of RAM. A higher-end graphics card, like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 or the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, is advised to support higher resolutions and smoother frame rates. DirectX 12 remains a requirement, and, as with the minimum specs, an SSD with at least 70 GB of free space is necessary for installation and efficient game performance.
These requirements mean MindsEye runs best on modern hardware. Older CPUs and GPUs may struggle with the higher graphical settings and cinematic effects.
