Palworld developer Pocketpair announced that, in anticipation of the release of GTA 6, the company will provide a special holiday to all employees who wish to play the game. The leave period runs from November 19 to 23, totaling five days.
Pocketpair jokingly referred to this arrangement in their announcement as a "business trip" to Vice City to handle urgent matters. The company stated that the release of a highly anticipated title by players worldwide deserves the full attention of its employees. GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, and this leave decision has received positive feedback on social media.
Other companies have introduced similar arrangements. Logitech simultaneously announced "Logi Game Day," allowing employees to take a day off within the next 12 months to play video games, though it did not explicitly state that this policy was specifically for GTA 6. Smaller studio Burger Motorsports had previously announced it would give employees a day off for the game's release.
