MindsEye Mysteriously Removes Free Roam, Brings Back ARCADIA for User-Created Missions – GamingBolt

Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 30th, Oct. 2025

If you haven’t kept track of MindsEye or developer Build A Rocket Boy – whose higher-ups were slammed by the UK Game Workers Union for mistreating employees – a new update is available. It brings back ARCADIA, which replaces Play.MindsEye. Build.MindsEye, the tools used to create custom missions, is also Build.ARCADIA for PC players, and Free Roam has vanished. Yes, we’re as confused as you are.
ARCADIA is described as an “ever-expanding world of missions, races, puzzles, and challenges” within MindsEye. The campaign and side missions remain, and can be experienced offline, but ARCADIA is now a “streaming service,” which requires an internet connection at all times. There are even leaderboards, despite the sheer vacuum of a player base.
You can check out the trailer below for some examples of what ARCADIA represents. There’s no word on when Free Roam or its protagonist (known simply as “‘Can’t Drink Dust’ Guy”) will return.
However, from the outset, MindsEye appears to be sticking to its post-launch roadmap with these new modes, missions and multiplayer. The question now is whether it’s “major adventure in the Starstream universe,” slated for sometime this Winter, is on track. Or whether that open-world multiplayer title set one year after is still happening.
MindsEye is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review of the base game – we gave it a five out of ten, praising the visuals and creation tools while lambasting pretty much everything else.
