Logitech Offers Staff a Day Off to Play Video Games
The Logi Game Day initiative lets employees take a paid day to play a game of their choice between now and the same period in 2027.
Logitech has announced Logi Game Day, a worker initiative that gives employees a day off to play video games, according to techradar.com. Staff can take the day between this month and the same period in 2027 to play a game of their choice.
Chief executive officer Hanneke Faber said the program is meant to retire the stereotype that gaming is a waste of time. Chief people officer Elaine Laird said play is not the opposite of work.
The company pointed to its own research to back the initiative. Its Ctrl Tomorrow study found that 81% of gamers believe gaming builds real-world confidence and reduces anxiety. A separate Logitech study found that 98.8% of enterprise ITDM respondents said gaming skills translate to workplace capabilities.
Logitech will also host a streaming event at its Americas headquarters to celebrate Game Day.
Gaming's productivity debate
The announcement lands ahead of a crowded release period. In November 2026, Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, and one report suggested the US economy could lose up to $1 billion in productivity as 1.5 million workers potentially skip work.
