Logitech gives its 7,000 employees a day off for GTA 6 launch
Tech company Logitech is declaring November 19 a company-wide holiday so its employees can play GTA 6, according to reports from Kotaku and VGC.
Per the report, the initiative is called "Logi Game Day" and applies to all of Logitech's approximately 7,000 employees, from executives to interns. The company's press release, as summarized by Kotaku, argues that gaming builds real-world confidence and correlates with stronger work performance.
Kotaku notes the move gets ahead of potential mass absenteeism by simply shutting down productivity for the day. Employees are free to play GTA VI, another game, or not game at all.
VGC's report echoes the story, quoting Logitech's stance that "play is not the opposite of work." The day off is set for November 19, the global release date for Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI.
