GTA VI to Wow Gamers with Next-Level Glass Shattering Technology

Many gamers fondly and nostalgically remember the unique technological achievements of GTA IV, which were not found in other games before or after. One of them was the incredibly realistic behavior of glass, which shattered depending on the angle of impact and the cause of destruction.

The window could crack, break into a million pieces, or fracture, all on 2008 technology. Well, it seems Rockstar Games not only remembers their old developments but plans to take them to a new level.

Next-generation glass

There is wide discussion online about a find by attentive gamers on the page of one of the GTA VI programmers. A former employee indicated that he was involved in creating the procedural glass surface destruction system. Moreover, he did not work on it alone but led a group of specialists whose task, apparently, was to make windows, glasses, showcases, bottles, possibly eyeglasses, break as realistically and diversely as possible.

After the information hit the Net, the developer deleted it from his LinkedIn page, but there's little point in this, as the screenshot has already spread.

Rockstar is known for their fanatical attention to detail and the tiniest elements in their games, so there is no doubt that if the studio wants the glass to shatter beautifully — it will do so.

When to expect

GTA 6 is scheduled to be released on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
