Logitech gives all employees November 19 off for GTA VI launch day
#logitech#gta vi#rockstar games#open world
Logitech is giving every employee November 19, 2026 off, naming the date its Logi Game Day, Kotaku reports. The outlet links the timing to GTA VI.
Kotaku cites estimates that put Logitech's headcount at just over 7,000. Everyone from executives to interns gets the day. Staff can spend it on GTA VI, on another game, or on something other than gaming.
Rather than handle a wave of individual time-off requests for the same date, the company is closing out the workday for everyone. Kotaku frames the move as Logitech getting ahead of economists' predictions about the productivity cost of people skipping work to play GTA VI.
Logitech's press release for the event leans on its Logitech Ctrl Tomorrow study. According to the release, 81% of gamers in that study believe gaming builds real-world confidence, reduces anxiety and correlates with stronger daily work performance.
The release also states: "As a company designing products for work and play, we see every day how engagement in one sphere supports performance in the other."
