MindsEye Developer Build A Rocket Boy Enters Administration

MindsEye Developer Build A Rocket Boy Enters Administration — original editorial gaming news illustration

Build A Rocket Boy, the studio founded by former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies and responsible for MindsEye, has appointed Opus Advisory Group as administrator. The development follows another round of layoffs in September and places the company in a formal insolvency process designed to protect it from creditors while administrators assess whether the business can be restructured, sold or otherwise rescued. The numbers make grim reading. Its latest available accounts recorded a £47.5 million operating loss, a £36.2 million net loss and £61.8 million owed to creditors for the financial year ending September 2025. Build A Rocket Boy had attracted substantial investor backing, including money connected with NetEase Games, RedBird Capital Partners and Galaxy Interactive, but turning expensive ambitions into profitable games is apparently still the annoying part of running a game studio. MindsEye's troubled commercial journey has hung heavily over the company. The administration is another uncomfortable reminder that even heavily financed studios are only a couple of disastrous production cycles away from discovering just how literal the phrase 'burn rate' can become.
