Logitech Is Letting Employees Take Work Off for Game Releases, Just Ahead of GTA 6

Logitech has announced that it will be giving employees the option to take time off for video game releases ahead of GTA 6's launch.

The tech company announced that it will label this perk as "Logi Game Day" for its employees. Logitech explained that this idea came about from an internal study, which concluded that "81% of gamers believe that gaming builds real-world confidence, reduces anxiety, and correlates with stronger day-to-day work performance." Another study noted that 98.8% of enterprise ITDM respondents believe that gaming translates to actual workplace skills, such as problem-solving and acting under pressure.

As a result, the company is going to lean into that and give people the freedom to take time off to play new video games.

“It’s time to retire the stereotype that gaming is a waste of time,” said Hanneke Faber, Logitech’s chief executive officer. “As a company designing products for work and play, we see every day how engagement in one sphere supports performance in the other.”

On November 19, Logitech G, the company's gaming division, will host a live-streamed event at its San Jose headquarters to celebrate the occasion. This, likely coincidentally, aligns with the release day of GTA 6. It's unclear exactly what the event will feature, but it will be hosted by Logitech G’s general manager, Robin Piispannen.

“Whether diving into a game like GTA 6 or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, shaving seconds off lap times in Forza, or teaming up in an online battle, Game Day gives our team a shared purpose," he says.
