Since its initial launch in June 2025, MindsEye has been a journey—both for Jacob Diaz and for the players navigating the neon-soaked, conspiracy-laden streets of Redrock. Today, February 4, 2026, Build a Rocket Boy has officially ushered in what they’re calling a “New Era” with the release of Update 7.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to dive into this cinematic sci-fi thriller, or if you’ve been holding off for a bit more polish, that moment has arrived.

What’s New in Update 7?

This isn’t just another patch; it’s a comprehensive overhaul that aligns the game with the studio’s original vision. The team has spent the last several months listening to community feedback to refine the core experience.

Key Gameplay Improvements:

  • Smoother Campaign Flow: Transitions between missions and narrative beats are now more seamless.
  • Objective Clarity: No more wandering Redrock, wondering where to go; navigation and objective markers have been overhauled.
  • Advanced AI Behavior: Enemies are smarter, more reactive, and provide a significantly better combat challenge.
  • Technical Refinement: Significant performance boosts across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

“Update 7 is a big step forward for MindsEye, and our studio… We’ve listened, we’ve moved quickly, and we’re continuing to refine performance, make continuous improvements, and deliver substantial combat and gameplay enhancements.”

— Mark Gerhard, CEO & CTO of Build a Rocket Boy

High-Octane Additions: The Silva E-Series

For the Deluxe Edition players, Update 7 brings a brand-new way to experience the city. The Silva E-Series introduces a full street circuit race in the heart of Redrock.

This isn’t just a side-quest; it’s a high-production event featuring:

  • Massive Crowds: NPC spectators and grandstands that make the city feel alive.
  • Technical Challenges: A skill-first circuit designed to test your driving precision.
  • Global Leaderboards: Fight for the top spot against the world’s best pilots.

The Road Ahead: 2026 and Beyond

Build a Rocket Boy isn’t stopping at a “reset.” The studio has teased a massive roadmap for the coming months that promises to significantly expand the world of MindsEye.
