A German education provider is offering paid leave for a three-day online course about storytelling and collaboration in open-world games, scheduled for 18 to 20 November. The course coincides with Grand Theft Auto 6’s launch, giving participants time to play while taking legally protected learning leave.
The programme, titled “Open World Games: Lessons from a Digital World”, is available to 60 people aged 18 or over who have a suitable device and a licensed open-world game. Guided activities will use gameplay to explore topics including motivation, community-building and problem-solving, with an additional in-person event planned in Berlin. GTA 6 is due to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 19 November.
