Palworld developer Pocketpair gives employees time off for 'a 5-day business trip in Vice City when GTA 6 launches'

Amid the countless PTO requests and conspicuously-timed doctor appointment notices targeting November 19, one game studio's employees have been absolved of the need to provide themselves an alibi on Grand Theft Auto 6's launch day. Pocketpair announced on X today that all of its employees "have been granted special leave to attend to an urgent five-day business trip in Vice City when GTA 6 launches."

"On November 19, millions of gamers around the world will find themselves sitting at school or work, gazing longingly out the window, knowing that a new era of gaming is about to begin," Pocketpair wrote in a memo announcing the company holiday. "At Pocketpair, we believe such a historic occasion deserves our full attention."
