Some workers will be able to play GTA 6 on launch day without using their holidays. Logitech has introduced a policy called “Gaming Time Off”, an extra day off so employees can play a new game of their choice, and it has said it is fine with most of its staff taking November 19, the day GTA 6 comes out, Video Games Chronicle reported on November 11, 2026.
What Logitech says
CEO Hanneke Faber told Fortune that the idea of gaming as wasted time is an outdated stereotype, and that engagement in play supports performance at work. Chief People Officer Elaine Laird added that play is not the opposite of work: time to unplug and immerse yourself in a game brings people back with sharper focus, more energy and fresh ideas for hard problems.
The details
- What: one extra day of holiday to play a new game
- When: rolled out just before GTA 6’s launch on November 19
- Who: Logitech employees
A very anticipated launch
Some analysts are worried about the economic impact of large numbers of people taking the day off, but Logitech has embraced the idea. VGC points out that one day may only let players scratch the surface of the first new Grand Theft Auto in 13 years. Everything about the game is in our GTA 6 guide.
