IO Interactive has released the fourth major update for MindsEye. The update includes a variety of fixes. This includes aim assist adjustments, shader, assests, and collision improvements, improvements to robots, and more. MindsEye is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. According to past analysts at Ampere Analysis via The Game Business, MindsEye sales have been negatively impacted by its negative critical and player reception. According to the company the game was “just shy” of 250,000 players with 150,000 being on PlayStation 5 while only 35,000 players are on Steam close to its launch.
