The recent launch of MindsEye has cast a shadow over IO Interactive’s future in game publishing, raising questions about whether the company will continue to support other studios. Despite the initial excitement surrounding the debut title from Build a Rocket Boy, the game suffered a disastrous release marred by technical issues and poor reviews, leading to a Metacritic score of just 37 on PC and 28 on PS5. In an interview, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak expressed disappointment over the game’s reception, emphasizing the company’s commitment to supporting developers while also acknowledging the challenges that come with publishing.
