Logitech offers employees a day off to play GTA 6 at launch

Grand Theft Auto VI is almost upon us, so for many would-be players, it may be too late to request time off work. However, employees at PC accessories company Logitech will be given the option to take a day off for the game's release. The timing of Logitech's announcement suggests it's specifically for the GTA 6 launch, which is the only major new release this year.

The company introduced a new "Logi Game Day" perk, according to IGN. Logitech claims studies show 81% of gamers believe gaming improves real-world confidence, reduces anxiety, and boosts work performance. CEO Hanneke Faber stated that gaming should no longer be seen as a waste of time. The company, which designs products for both work and play, believes engagement in one area can enhance performance in the other.
