The competition between MindsEye and GTA 6 is gaining traction. While leaks surrounding GTA 6 create a buzz, Rockstar has remained tight-lipped since releasing the first official trailer. This silence raises questions about whether another strong contender could emerge to rival GTA 6 upon its release. Although titles like Mafia 4 may provide competition, MindsEye is emerging as a formidable challenger due to its association with Leslie Benzies, the former president and founder of Rockstar. After parting ways with the company amid a management dispute, Benzies established his studio, @BuildARocketBoy, in partnership with @IOIInteractive, the publisher behind the Hitman series. Gamers can already wishlist MindsEye through its official website, following a post on 'X' from the BuildARocketBoy account, PCQuest reported
