Build a Rocket Boy’s MindsEye studio is reportedly shutting down for good, following another round of layoffs. Multiple employees and sources cited across outlets say remaining staff are being released and the studio’s operations are ending.
The reports reference MindsEye’s troubled period, including its year-old release and the financial or organizational strain reflected by repeated layoff rounds. Polygon and Push Square note the game’s difficult launch and suggest the studio’s closure is the culmination of earlier problems. Kotaku similarly frames the shutdown as confirmation that the studio is winding down, while PC Gamer reports employees leaving as reflected in statements on LinkedIn. Engadget characterizes the development as consistent with ongoing restructuring.
Across the coverage, outlets do not dispute that layoffs are driving the closure narrative, but they differ in emphasis: some focus on employee reports, others on the game’s launch performance, and others on the pattern of prior downsizing.
