MindsEye Update 5 Patch Notes and Content Overview
Update 5 adds Halloween arcade missions, third-person drone racing, and ARCADIA streaming changes to PC and consoles alongside extensive bug fixes.
MindsEye Update 5 is live across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S with seasonal content, ARCADIA restructuring, and numerous technical fixes. Play.MindsEye is now renamed ARCADIA.
ARCADIA Content and Halloween Events
Standard Edition players get 'Going Haywire – Downtown', a fast-paced Halloween shooter on the Redrock strip featuring weapon choices and score multipliers. Two drone racing modes, 'Sky Race - Cruise Control' and 'Sky Race - Free Bird', offer third-person rooftop racing and a prison escape route with global leaderboards. 'C.A.R.E.less Survival' tasks players with protecting a VIP while Vega hunts them until midnight. Deluxe Edition owners receive 'Going Haywire - Airport' and the martial law-themed 'Sky Race - No Fly Zone'.
Platform and Service Changes
ARCADIA now functions as a streaming service, requiring an active internet connection to play. The main campaign and side missions remain playable offline. Free Roam mode is temporarily disabled. Download sizes range from 12.9 GB on Xbox Series X|S to roughly 28 GB on PC and PlayStation 5.
Combat and Mission Fixes
The drone companion can no longer fly beyond map boundaries, and Hades Drone lock-on failures against combat drones are resolved. Hand swapping after reloading behaves correctly. In missions, Morrison enters the car properly during The Ziggurat if the player exits the Jeep simultaneously, and infinite loading screens when restarting from checkpoints in Lights in the Sky are fixed.
UI, Visuals, and Performance
Armed civilians no longer display objective markers when scanned, and settings changes save correctly. The patch resolves a PC performance drop occurring after long sessions when vehicles exploded, as well as frame rate dips during Penthouse Gamble. Character resolutions in cutscenes and distant environment detail levels are also corrected.
ARCADIA Creator and Logic Updates
Logic node arrow lines stay visible when nodes are over 1km away from a linked asset. The Performance Impact Score accurately warns players before publishing if performance issues could arise, and AI units now contribute to that score calculation.
Why this patch matters
Update 5 introduces new arcade content and restructures the creation suite while reinforcing game stability across all platforms.
