Kalshi is looking for someone to play GTA 6 live from November 19 and study its economy, Mashable reports. The prediction market platform posted the job on LinkedIn and says it is genuine.
According to Mashable, the hire would play and livestream GTA 6 from launch to work out how best to optimise the in-game economy, and to analyse the real-world productivity lost when people take time off to play. They would also release a weekly research report on the in-game economy.
The posting asks for at least a decade of "sweaty gaming" experience, three years of streaming and a good setup. Pay is $100,000 to $120,000 as a fixed project fee, plus $15,000 on completion, per Mashable, which notes the role sounds like a lot of solo work and that doing what you love for a living is still work.
Mashable places the posting among other launch-week moves: it covered Logitech's policy of giving staff time off to play new games earlier this week. We also reported on Pocketpair's five days of leave. We have not reached Kalshi and do not know how many applications it has received.

What is known about the game itself, including the release date, is on the release page.
Nothing changes for the game or its players. The posting shows GTA 6 already serving as a marketing hook for companies outside gaming, a week before November 19. Whether Kalshi actually publishes those reports remains to be seen.
