Kalshi, a US prediction-market startup, is advertising a remote role it describes as a “GTA VI Researcher.” The position is framed as an opportunity to play the highly anticipated game around launch and use that gameplay to study how its in-game economy works.

Across coverage, outlets say the work includes streaming or sharing gameplay while examining the fictional economy of Leonida, the setting for GTA VI, and identifying approaches that could make money within that system. One report also says the researcher should look at how the in-game economy might connect to real-world behaviour such as work patterns and spending, including food delivery.

Reported pay levels vary by outlet, with some quoting figures in dollars and others converting to Indian rupees. Differences in emphasis include how “obsessive” the role is portrayed, the inclusion of streaming as a key task, and whether additional real-world tracking is highlighted more prominently.
