Around 1.5 million people are reportedly planning to take time off work to play GTA 6 when Rockstar's long-awaited sequel launches on November 19. The figure comes amid predictions that the game's release could cost the US economy around $1 billion. Economist José García Montalvo, a professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, reportedly made the prediction, with the estimate highlighting the potential impact of workers staying home for the launch. After more than 13 years without a new mainline Grand Theft Auto game, anticipation is building for the return to Vice City. If enough fans follow through with their plans, some workplaces could face staff shortages as players prioritise their time in the game. #news #work #game #gaming
