MindsEye Saga Hits a New Low as Mass Layoffs Cripple PS5 Flop's 'Comeback'

Build A Rocket Boy has reportedly laid off roughly 170 employees, a reduction that brings the studio's headcount down to about 80 and throws the future of MindsEye Saga into doubt, according to Kotaku sources and reported by Push Square.

The cuts arrive as MindsEye Saga struggles to recover from a poor commercial showing on PlayStation 5. The scale of the downsizing will make further development, post‑launch support and any planned comeback initiatives significantly harder to sustain for the studio and its flagship title.

Push Square's report cites Kotaku for the staffing figures; no official response from Build A Rocket Boy was available through their public channels at the time of reporting. Industry observers note that large reductions in personnel often lead to cancelled updates, delayed fixes and an uncertain roadmap for live games.
