Grand Theft Auto Six arrives on November 19, 2026, and Logitech is granting about 7,000 employees worldwide a paid day off to play it, tekno.kompas.com reported.

The initiative, named Logi Game Day, covers everyone from permanent staff to interns without cutting pay or vacation time. The program is not restricted to Rockstar Games’ upcoming title, allowing workers to choose any game and any date between now and November 2027, according to tekno.kompas.com.

Chief Executive Officer Hanneke Faber plans to play on launch day while streaming from the office as rooms transform into gaming lounges. Faber said, “Sudah waktunya kita meninggalkan stereotip bahwa bermain game itu buang-buang waktu,” as reported by tekno.kompas.com. Faber said that products are engineered for both work and play, noting that engagement in one domain supports performance in another.
