Logitech to Give Employees a Day Off for GTA 6 Launch

In depth

Logitech, a manufacturer of computer equipment, announced Logi Game Day, under which each employee can take a paid day off to play a game of their choice. The move comes ahead of the launch of GTA 6 on the 19th of the month, and it is aimed at the company's 7,000 employees.

Management is encouraging teams to explore the gaming world and cites research according to which gaming develops problem-solving skills. In the background, a record of ten million pre-orders for the game has been recorded, and there is concern about mass absences in the economy.

After eight years of development and several delays, GTA VI, the most expensive video game in gaming history, will launch next week. It is expected to generate revenue of 3 billion dollars in the first months, and the performance of NBA players may decline during this period.
