IO Interactive has officially announced the conclusion of its working relationship with Build a Rocket Boy, the development studio behind MindsEye.
The Hitman maker published the game last year, but as of 16th March 2026, all publishing rights and duties are being transferred over to the developer.
For a long time, it was planned that there would be a Hitman/MindsEye crossover mission; this has unfortunately been cancelled as well.
This marks the end of IO Interactive's involvement with the game, which went through a disastrous launch last summer. It's unclear whether IO plans to publish external games again in the future.

As for Build a Rocket Boy, the company has sadly been through more layoffs recently, while the CEO persists with theories that the game suffered a targeted attack.
Hopefully it's able to turn things around, though given the game's reputation, it seems like an uphill struggle.

Obviously this is just another in the string of orchestrated negativity campaigns against this game.
I will always stand up for MindsEye, my #3 game of last year and most recent platinum trophy
You know what would save this? Some DLSS 5
mindseye was a entertaining midtier ps3 game that got lost on a hike. i enjoyed most of it but i only paid 30$.
I really enjoyed this Going to replay it and get the platinum.
@dskatter part of me wants them to be able to prove it because it would be wildly entertaining and unexpected.
Maybe IOI decided to split before it's revealed that they were in fact the saboteurs all along 👀
I just played the demo but based on that agree with the (now) general opinion that it's not great but also not nearly as bad it's reputation.
Didn’t help that the CEO was spouting nonsense conspiracy theories.
Still curious to try it, waiting for it to arrive in the ps catalog.
@IamJT I would watch the hell out of that documentary!
