Logitech has established a company-wide benefit providing its roughly 7,000 employees globally with a dedicated day off to play video games. The announcement comes just ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, though the time off can be taken for any game through November 2027.

Logitech announced 'Logi Game Day,' granting its global workforce of about 7,000 employees a dedicated day off to play video games until November 2027.
The policy was announced nine days ahead of the November 19 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, though employees are permitted to choose any title.
Logitech's offices will remain open on November 19, and its gaming brand, Logitech G, will host a live broadcast from its San Jose headquarters.
Company leadership cited research indicating that gaming reduces anxiety, builds confidence, and fosters workplace skills like strategic thinking and problem-solving.
Workplace data shows that time-off requests across businesses on November 19 are running 9% to 17% higher than a typical third Thursday in November.
