Palworld developer Pocketpair has announced that staff planning to play Grand Theft Auto VI will get a five-day holiday starting on launch day, November 19, and running to November 23. The studio framed it as an urgent business trip to Vice City and shared an internal notice on social media.
Company boss Takuro Mizobe also posted that he will take a break to play the game himself.
IGN notes Pocketpair is not alone, with Logitech also giving employees time off, and cites a report of a 17% rise in time-off requests linked to the launch. The game arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
