- Staff can use it for GTA 6 or another game.
- The company welcomes leave on the game’s launch day.

## Summary

Logitech is giving employees an additional day of annual leave to play a new game of their choice, a policy introduced ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6’s launch. The move challenges the idea that gaming is unproductive and reflects the company’s view that time spent playing can support focus and performance at work.

The company has said staff may use the leave for GTA 6, and would be comfortable with employees taking 19 November off to explore the game’s Vice City setting. Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber and chief people officer Elaine Laird said dedicated time to play can help workers return with renewed energy and fresh perspectives. The article notes that GTA 6 is the first new Grand Theft Auto game in 13 years and that it is unclear whether other gaming-related companies will adopt similar policies.
