MindsEye debuted in a subpar state, drawing heavy fire from critics. Undeterred, the development team has remained committed to refining the experience through consistent updates.

At launch, console performance frequently dipped to 24–25 fps, rendering the gameplay experience frustratingly sluggish. The studio has pledged a subsequent optimization pass scheduled for the opening weeks of 2026 to further polish the engine.
For comparison, here is a detailed technical analysis of MindsEye’s visuals as they appeared on launch day:
MindsEye is an ambitious GTA-inspired title spearheaded by Leslie Benzies, a key visionary behind Grand Theft Auto V. The project features a sprawling open-world metropolis, mission-driven gameplay, and intense combat set within a gritty criminal underworld.
