Playing GTA 6 has made it onto Pocketpair’s work calendar. The Japanese developer of Palworld and Craftopia announced special five-day leave on November 12 for employees planning to play at launch. Its company notice frames the break as a business trip to Vice City, the game’s fictional city.
According to Pocketpair, the leave runs from Thursday, November 19, through Monday, November 23. Eligibility is straightforward: employees must intend to play Grand Theft Auto VI.
The week’s assignment is Vice City
Participating staff will be excused from their usual duties during the break. The notice encourages a trip to the game’s setting and closes by wishing everyone an enjoyable time away from the office and a safe return.
That gives participating employees time to begin Jason and Lucia’s story on release day and keep playing over the weekend, without squeezing the entire launch into their evenings after work. The announced five-day stretch includes Saturday and Sunday.
What about Palworld updates?
The notice also addresses Pocketpair’s own games. The company says work on updates for Palworld and Craftopia is progressing smoothly and is expected to stay on schedule.
Pocketpair joins Logitech, which introduced a day off for gaming. The benefits have different rules. Pocketpair’s break is specifically tied to GTA 6 and the November 19–23 period.
