Planning to call in sick on 19 November? At one tech company, you wouldn't have to. Logitech has announced "Logi Game Day", a dedicated day off for employees to play games, and its gaming brand is throwing a party on GTA VI's launch day.
What Logitech announced
Logitech announced Logi Game Day on 10 November and called it the first company-wide gaming day in its history. Its chief people officer, Elaine Laird, summed it up in one line: "Play is not the opposite of work."
Where GTA VI comes in
Logitech G will host a streaming event at its San Jose headquarters on 19 November, the day GTA VI comes out. The brand's general manager, Robin Piispanen, named GTA VI first among the games his team might play.
They're not the only ones
Pocketpair, the studio behind Palworld, announced on 12 November that all its employees get special leave when GTA VI launches. Its official account called it "an urgent five-day business trip in Vice City".
Our read
Logitech's announcement doesn't say the day off has to be taken on 19 November, and it never calls it a GTA VI holiday. But the timing isn't subtle. If your boss needs convincing, here is when GTA VI unlocks where you live.
