Pocketpair has found a way to make playing Grand Theft Auto VI sound like an official assignment. The Palworld developer is offering employees who intend to play Rockstar’s game special leave from November 19 through November 23, with Vice City listed as the destination for their business trip.
The studio’s November 12 announcement presents the break as a business trip.
Five Days in Vice City
The attached company notice sets out a five-day stretch from Thursday to Monday. Employees taking part are excused from their regular duties, giving them launch day and the following weekend to spend in Rockstar’s fictional city.
The joke comes with a practical benefit: employees who want to play can plan around the release knowing that the studio has already made room for the break. Launch day is on the company calendar.
Pocketpair also says work on Palworld and Craftopia updates is progressing smoothly, and it expects those updates to arrive as scheduled.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pocketpair’s leave starts that same day and runs through the following Monday, giving participating staff a long weekend to settle into Vice City.
