Whether you believe it’s the work of saboteursor that it’s simply just not a very good game,MindsEyeis in the running to be crowned the biggest flop of 2025. However, if you really want to know what it’s like, you can currently pick it up for a lot less than its launch price, even though we’re only a month out from its launch.
MindsEye is a $60 game which, in today’s gaming landscape, some might have considered a pretty wise decision before release. Now it’s here, and we know what MindsEye is, most people have likely decided $60 might be a little much. That’ll be whyits price has dropped by a third to just $40pretty much anywhere you can buy physical copies of the game.
MindsEye’s price has been cut by a third at most major retailers
If you think MindsEye looks like a $40 game, today is your lucky day
You can currently pick up a physical copy of MindsEye forPS5orXbox Series X|SatAmazon,Walmart,Target, andGameStop. The only major retailer that’s holding firm and still charging the full $59.99 for MindsEyeis Best Buy, implying that this discount may be a decision taken by the retailers and not MindsEye studio Build A Rocket Boy, but we shall see.
Sure, based on what you’ve seen and heard about MindsEye, $40 might still be too much of an ask. On the one hand, you could wait for the price to drop even further. That happened to Ubisoft’s unpopular quadruple-A gameSkull And Bones, and there have also been times whenyou’ve been able to pick up Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for less than $10even though it launched at $70 just last year.
On the other hand, we might be looking at something similar to aConcordsituation here. Not that MindsEye will be getting shut down any time soon. It’s a solely single players game. However, I can’t imagine there’s a big rush to get more physical copies out in the world. These might be discounted so retailers can get rid of them, and in some bizarre twist of fate, they might end up being sought after by collectors years from now.
While most, including myself, have been poking fun at MindsEye, the sad truth behind its disastrous launch is that people will likely lose their jobs because the game is underperforming. It’s believed thatas many as 100 developers could be let go by Build A Rocket Boyfollowing the game’s maligned release.
