Overview
- Reports Thursday cite a now-removed LinkedIn entry from a former Rockstar graphics programmer who said they led a “next generation procedural breakable glass system” for vehicles and props.
- Reddit user esketitethan captured a screenshot of the profile before it was edited, and outlets then reported the claim after the developer deleted the description.
- Procedural in this context means glass would shatter differently each time based on impact force and angle, replacing the fixed break animations common in past games.
- Coverage suggests the system could reach beyond car windows to building glass and other props, which would deepen world interaction and raise CPU, GPU, and physics demands on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- The same entry credited work on tools for capturing in-game footage with extra visual detail and on rendering fixes, yet Rockstar has not confirmed the glass feature.
