A Russian company reportedly promises a day off to employees who want to play GTA 6 on release day. The catch: they have to prove they own a console with the game.
GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What was announced
According to Meduza, the offer is aimed at staff who want to play the game on day one. Employees who take the day off must be able to show that they own a console copy of GTA 6.
The report does not name the company in the details available here, so the offer's scope and conditions beyond the console requirement are unclear.
The details
- Who it's for: Employees of the company who want to play GTA 6 on release day.
- Requirement: Proof of owning a console with the game.
- Reward: A day off work.
- Release date: November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What it means for players
It is a rare example of an employer treating a game launch as a real event. Most players will have to plan around work, school and a long queue of downloads, so a day off is a strong perk for anyone who already has a console and a plan for launch day.
Keep an eye on official Rockstar announcements in the weeks before launch for pre-load, download size and store details.
