MindsEye: Release date for former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies' new game confirmed

Developed by Edinburgh-based Build a Rocket Boy (BARB) studio, the new thriller title is set to be one of the biggest games of 2025 and Benzies’ first since the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.

Back in February, it was announced that BARB were eyeing a summer launch window for the game. Now, it has been confirmed that MindsEye will launch on June 10, 2025.

The news came alongside a new trailer, with game director Benzies commenting: “This new trailer marks an exciting moment for MindsEye, as players get another look at the cinematic adventure we’ve worked so passionately to create.

“This new story trailer delves into the rich world of Redrock City and the characters players will encounter on their journey to help Jacob uncover his story. We can’t wait for players to step into the immersive world of MindsEye and embark on this gripping story of technology, ambition, and political intrigue.”

Here is everything we learned from the MindsEye release date announcement.

MindsEye release date confirmed

MindsEye is set for launch on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. MindsEye will cost £54.99, with pre-orders, both physical and digital, now available.

Players who pre-order the game digitally will receive the Deluxe Edition Upgrade that includes in-game content including the “Premium Pass”, the "Deluxe" Thorn & Kepler Yellowjacket Weapon, "Future" Jacob Vest Skin, and "Future" DC2 Companion Drone Skin. Meanwhile, physical pre-orders will also receive the retail exclusive "Stealth" Silva Sedan Vehicle Skin.

MindsEye can pre-ordered across all platforms through the game’s website.

Second MindsEye story trailer introduces new characters

We already knew that MindsEye was set in the fictional desert city of Redrock, but in the new trailer we finally got a good look at that setting as well as new characters.

We meet enigmatic tech billionaire and tech genius Marco Silva - the head of the Silva Corporation, whose products we see all around the city - as well as Redrock’s ambitious mayor Shiva Vega.

With the Silva Corporation behind tech from Redrock City’s law enforcement robots to its vehicles, Marco must deal with Mayor Vega as she attempts to take over control of the technology which essentially runs the city - all while he attempts to grow his company and stretch it towards new frontiers - those which will presumably impact our protagonist Jacob Diaz as he seeks answers about his past.

While the upcoming title was initially announced alongside Everywhere, BARB’s Roblox-style title, assistant game director Adam Whiting recently confirmed that it was a standalone game which can be accessed through Everywhere but that the studio were focused on MindsEye.
