Get paid to play ‘GTA VI’: Kalshi dangles up to $135K for dream gaming gig

Prediction market company Kalshi is offering up to $135,000 for a remote contractor to play Grand Theft Auto VI from launch, livestream the game and research how to earn the most virtual money. The role reflects the intense interest surrounding the long-awaited release and Kalshi’s plan to study both the game’s fictional economy and its real-world effects.

The contract pays a fixed fee of $100,000 to $120,000, plus $15,000 for completion. The researcher must start at midnight on 19 November, stream the full playthrough, submit weekly reports and deliver a “State of the Leonida Economy” address; applicants need ten years of gaming experience and three years of streaming. Sensor Tower estimates the game has more than 10 million digital pre-orders worth over $1 billion, though Rockstar and Take-Two have not released official figures.
