Fans are starving for new Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 information. Rockstar Games released Trailer 2 in May 2025. Consequently, the community has gone nearly a year without concrete news. This content drought has players scouring the internet for clues, leading to false assumptions about Take-Two’s CEO confirming pricing.
However, this same search recently uncovered a legitimate major detail. A former Rockstar Games developer leaked a brand-new feature for the highly anticipated open-world crime game.
The Procedural Glass System in GTA 6
The leak originated from a LinkedIn profile. A former Graphics Programmer, who worked at Rockstar from February 2020 to April 2023, listed their project accomplishments. Specifically, they claimed to have taken the lead on a “next generation procedural glass system for vehicles and props.” Furthermore, the developer quickly scrubbed the profile within hours of the internet discovering this detail.
UPDATE: The Rockstar dev removed the details from his LinkedIn profile just a few hours after it was shared around the community.

Unlike Grand Theft Auto 5, which used pre-determined break patterns, GTA 6 will reportedly feature dynamic shattering. Therefore, the glass will break procedurally in real-time. The resulting damage depends entirely on how, where, and with what the player hits the target.
Unprecedented Realism & Physics
This new system promises persistent and partial damage. For instance, players might encounter half-broken side-view mirrors. Additionally, real physics will dictate how the glass shards fall, slide, or bounce. Different glass types, such as store windows versus car windshields, will shatter in completely different ways.
Moreover, corroborating evidence surfaced recently. A Reddit user named “NoBed2493” analyzed the game’s “Bautista trailer” and spotted footage showing procedurally generated broken glass and environmental destruction. Ultimately, this footage directly lines up with the developer’s resume.

Potential Gameplay Impact
Currently, many fans suspect official GTA 6 news will drop in April. In the meantime, the community is speculating about how this attention to detail will affect gameplay. Dynamic glass could heavily influence stealth mechanics, heists, and car chases. Consequently, vehicle shootouts will become significantly more visually unpredictable.
Ultimately, players must treat this leak as speculation until Rockstar officially confirms the feature. If Rockstar knows anything, it is how to use fan impatience as marketing.
