As GTA 6 prepares to launch on November 19, Pocketpair is giving all employees a five-day holiday to play the game, underscoring the industry's recognition of the release's cultural and financial significance.
Pocketpair announced employees will have leave from November 19 through November 23, while Logitech introduced Logi Game Day, offering all staff a single day off for gaming, and Burger Motorsports also planned a day off for the launch.
The move reflects a broader trend, with U.S. employers expected to lose an estimated $1 billion in productivity on the launch day as workers stay home to play.
