Pocketpair, the developer behind the sensational monster-catching game, Palworld, has announced a ‘special five-day holiday’ on social media. This is in recognition of the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, which comes out globally on November 19th.
In the post on social media, the team explained that all employees who intend to play GTA 6 when it comes out can take advantage of the special leave period. It was also promised that Palworld and Craftopia work is proceeding smoothly and is expected to be carried out as scheduled, which gets ahead of the naysayers claiming the break would pose a danger to those games.
Pocketpair Makes Awesome Move for Employees
The utter win of a post on social media that promised a five-day holiday for Pocketpair employees was met with solid positivity from Palworld fans. One wrote in the comments under the post, ‘Common Pocketpair W.’
Here’s the post:
In a similar move, Logitech revealed a global holiday allowance that permitted all employees to take one day off in the next year to play video games. Coincidentally, they dropped that deal just a week or so before the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, and said that if that’s the day folks want to take off, they’ve got no qualms.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be a record-setting title, shifting tens of millions of copies in the first week on the market. It’s also expected to see millions of workers take a day off or go sick to play it, so there’s that.
