changedWe know what you’re thinking: “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting for an update on Glassbreakers since Open Beta.”
addedAs many of you know, Polyarc is a small and growing, but independent studio of around 40 people. Over the last year, we’ve been busy. For instance, in late 2024, we delivered a Quest 3S and 3 update for Moss fans, bringing the visuals in line with other platforms, adding a combat skip feature to address player feedback and appeal to more cozy gamers in VR, and fixing a few small bugs. But behind the scenes, we never stopped working on Glassbreakers.
changedAt the end of the Open Beta period in January 2024, we had amassed quite a bit of feedback from players and partners about what you’d like to see when Glassbreakers made its eventual return. Two things became clear:
addedAs a small studio, free-to-play was difficult to sustain . If you’ve played a F2P title, you know that they survive off of constant content drops, such as cosmetics and new heroes. For a small team working on multiple projects, this can be a challenge, and we didn’t want a bad experience for our players. Which leads us to…,
addedSo with all of that said, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Glassbreakers, and we are thrilled to announce that we have begun sharing sneak-peeks and new information in the Polyarc Discord server. In fact, we are going live next Wednesday, June 25th, at 3PM Pacific, in the Polyarc Discord server to chat with Polyarc Creator LiveOpenMike about Glassbreakers development and answer your questions.

We know what you’re thinking: “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting for an update on Glassbreakers since Open Beta.”

As many of you know, Polyarc is a small and growing, but independent studio of around 40 people. Over the last year, we’ve been busy. For instance, in late 2024, we delivered a Quest 3S and 3 update for Moss fans, bringing the visuals in line with other platforms, adding a combat skip feature to address player feedback and appeal to more cozy gamers in VR, and fixing a few small bugs. But behind the scenes, we never stopped working on Glassbreakers.

At the end of the Open Beta period in January 2024, we had amassed quite a bit of feedback from players and partners about what you’d like to see when Glassbreakers made its eventual return. Two things became clear:

  • As a small studio, free-to-play was difficult to sustain. If you’ve played a F2P title, you know that they survive off of constant content drops, such as cosmetics and new heroes. For a small team working on multiple projects, this can be a challenge, and we didn’t want a bad experience for our players. Which leads us to…,

  • We recognized that many players are feeling fatigued with the F2P model. Games can feel unfinished and endless battle pass grinds don’t always feel rewarding or interesting. More and more, we see players asking for games that have meaningful progression systems.

With these two things in mind, we made the decision to take Glassbreakers offline so we could do the work necessary to make changes that we felt better aligned with our vision.

So with all of that said, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Glassbreakers, and we are thrilled to announce that we have begun sharing sneak-peeks and new information in the Polyarc Discord server. In fact, we are going live next Wednesday, June 25th, at 3PM Pacific, in the Polyarc Discord server to chat with Polyarc Creator LiveOpenMike about Glassbreakers development and answer your questions.
