Happy Halloween, Everyone!

Thank you to everyone playing MindsEye, especially those taking the time to share feedback and report any issues. Your input really helps us understand what’s working, what needs improvement, and where to focus next.

Update 5 is now live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

This update introduces the new Launcher Page, making it easy to access the main campaign and browse featured ARCADIA missions.

Halloween hits Redrock with Going Haywire – Downtown, a fast-paced arcade shooter set on the city’s strip with chaotic Halloween energy as you switch weapons, rack up combos, and fight for the top score. The update also adds new ARCADIA content for both Standard and Deluxe Editions.

You’ll notice ARCADIA has made its return. Play.MindsEye is now ARCADIA, and Build.MindsEye is now Build.ARCADIA on PC. ARCADIA now functions like a streaming service, meaning you’ll need an internet connection to play, while the main campaign and side missions remain fully playable offline across all platforms.

This update also includes bug fixes, plus a quick note that Free Roam is taking a short break but will return soon.

The goal is accuracy and speed. Keep your combo high to earn the best score. Character selection is available at the start.
