GTA 6 Launch Spurs PTO Spike, HR Data Shows

BambooHR’s US employee data shows PTO requests for November 19, the GTA 6 launch day, are 9-17% above historical averages, suggesting a real signal that some workers may take time off to play. While the data don’t prove causation, the timing aligns with the Thursday release and the game’s roughly 80-hour playtime, possibly carrying into the weekend; a related release, GTA 6: The Album, debuts the same day as well.
