For all intents and purposes, Rockstar Games is on track to release Grand Theft Auto 6 this year, with launch marketing kicking off this Summer. But if its track record of leaks is any indication, some things just can’t help getting out – like its reported use of “next generation procedural breakable glass.”
This was reportedly discovered on the LinkedIn profile of a former graphics programmer, who worked at the company from February 2020 to April 2023. They took the lead on implementing this system for vehicles and props while also being responsible for “designing tools for production to capture in-game footage with extra details from our rendering system.”
As soon as this was all discovered, however, they apparently went about wiping every single detail, only specifying that they worked on Grand Theft Auto 6 for a little over three years. If former employees signed an NDA (and you’d have to think Rockstar would mandate it), then it would make sense. After all, it’s been more than a little antsy about alleged leaks over the past several months.
Grand Theft Auto 6 will be available on November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 (barring any further delays). At this point, such an apparently detailed system for procedural breakable glass may only be one of the major details that it has in store. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months, especially as its release draws near.
