Palworld developer Pocketpair has announced a special five-day holiday for its employees to coincide with the global release of GTA 6 on November 19. All employees who plan to play the game upon its launch can take advantage of this time off.
Pocketpair calls this arrangement an "urgent five-day business trip to Vice City." Addressing concerns that the holiday might affect project progress, the company stated that work on Palworld and Craftopia is proceeding smoothly and is expected to stay on schedule.
This employee benefit has received positive feedback from Palworld players. Logitech recently also announced a gaming-related leave policy, allowing its global employees to choose one day off within the next year to play games, including on the release date of GTA 6.
The two companies have different arrangements: Pocketpair is offering a special five-day holiday around the release of GTA 6, while Logitech is providing a single day off that employees can choose themselves.
