CONFIRMED by this desk's editor: https://api.elections.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2/markets?series_ticker=KXGTAONLINE at HTTP 200 and 6,055 bytes at 2026-09-29T03:14:56Z, with all three rungs printed as served, being Before 2027 at 0.1700 last, 0.1100 previous, 0.1500 bid, 0.2100 ask, 76,236.87 volume, 2,936.65 in 24 hours and 30,436.91 open interest; Before July 2027 at 0.5700, 0.5700, 0.5400, 0.5700, 824.31, 19.76 and 567.53; and Before 2028 at 0.8800, 0.8900, 0.8800, 0.8900, 1,544.31, 4.58 and 327.34. All created_time, open_time, close_time and updated_time values are quoted verbatim, as are rules_primary for the before-2027 rung and the shared rules_secondary, whose curly quotes around GTA VI Online are reproduced as straight quotes. THIS DESK'S OWN ARITHMETIC: against the 0.0600 this desk published on 28 September the last price is 11 cents higher and close to three times that figure inside about one day; the ladder steps 0.40 and 0.31 across the three rungs, leaving 12 cents implied against a release no sooner than 2028; volume rose by 74.85 while open interest fell by 74.85 between a researcher's 03:00:57Z read and the editor's 03:14:56Z read, the same quantity and the signature of a closing trade, so roughly 75 contracts changed hands in 14 minutes; 29 September to 19 November 2026 is 51 days. CORRECTIONS THE EDITOR MADE TO RESEARCH, all stated in the copy: a researcher filed the bid at 0.1800 and called it one cent above its own last trade, which does not reproduce because the editor reads 0.1500, below the 0.1700 last; a researcher filed volume 76,162.02 and open interest 30,511.76 where the editor reads 76,236.87 and 30,436.91; a researcher filed the before-2028 last at 0.8900 where the editor reads 0.8800 with 0.8900 in previous_price; and the cycle's first call to the same URL returned HTTP 429 at 68 bytes at 2026-09-29T03:00:44Z before a retry reached 200, which is recorded rather than hidden. LIMITS printed in full: Rockstar has announced nothing about a GTA VI Online release date; a market price is not information from Rockstar and Kalshi's own rules say it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games; the two new rungs are thin at 824.31 and 1,544.31 lifetime volume against 76,236.87; the book was not sized; and no cause is asserted for the move. rockstargames.com/robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot by name and this desk's fetches use a standard desktop browser user agent.

Kalshi's ladder on a public release of GTA VI Online now has three rungs, and the one this desk published at 6 cents yesterday last traded at 17 cents. Two of the three rungs did not exist before 17 September 2026. Nothing Rockstar has published has changed, which is the first thing to say about all of it. CONFIRMED. This desk's editor fetched https://api.elections.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2/markets?series_ticker=KXGTAONLINE and received HTTP 200 at 6,055 bytes at 2026-09-29T03:14:56Z. The API names its price fields with a _dollars suffix and its size fields with an _fp suffix, and the figures below are quoted from those fields exactly as served.

Their open_time values are 2026-08-31T17:30:00Z, 2026-09-17T19:30:00Z and 2026-09-17T19:35:00Z. Their close_time values are 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z, 2027-07-01T03:59:00Z and 2028-01-01T04:59:00Z. All three carry the same updated_time, 2026-09-24T22:52:26.270733Z. Two of the three were built within ten minutes of each other on 17 September. A week ago there was no ladder here to read, only a single strike. What the exchange says it is resolving rules_primary for the before-2027 rung, verbatim: "If Rockstar Games releases GTA VI Online to the public before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes." rules_secondary, verbatim and shared across all three rungs. The source sets curly quotation marks around the phrase GTA VI Online and this desk reproduces them as straight quotes: "For this market, "GTA VI Online" means an online multiplayer mode or service for Grand Theft Auto VI, whether bundled with the base game or separately distributed and regardless of the name Rockstar Games uses. It is released when the general U.S. public can access and play it on at least one supported platform. Kalshi is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Rockstar Games. All trademarks, logos, and brand names are the property of their respective owners." The move, against this desk's own published figure Everything in this section is this desk's own arithmetic. On 28 September this desk published the before-2027 rung at 0.0600. Its last price now reads 0.1700. That is 11 cents higher and close to three times the published figure, inside about one day. This desk asserts no cause for the move. Nothing Rockstar published in that window explains it, because Rockstar published nothing in that window about GTA VI Online. Read as a ladder, the three last prices are coherent and monotone: 0.17 before 2027, 0.57 before July 2027, 0.88 before 2028. The steps are 0.40 and 0.31, which leaves 12 cents implied against a release no sooner than 2028. Those three subtractions are this desk's arithmetic on the exchange's figures. Corrections to a researcher's filing, and one rate limit Four things need recording, because this desk prints the editor's read rather than the first number filed. The bid does not sit above the last trade. A researcher filed the before-2027 bid at 0.1800 and described it as one cent above its own last trade. The editor's read 14 minutes later is 0.1500, which is below the 0.1700 last. That characterisation does not reproduce and is not printed here. The editor's figure governs. Volume and open interest moved in opposite directions by the same amount. The researcher filed volume 76,162.02 and open interest 30,511.76 at 2026-09-29T03:00:57Z. The editor reads 76,236.87 and 30,436.91 at 03:14:56Z. Volume rose by 74.85 and open interest fell by 74.85, the same quantity, which is the signature of a closing trade. Roughly 75 contracts changed hands in those 14 minutes. That is this desk's own arithmetic, and it is printed here as a reminder that these figures move continuously and every number in this article carries the editor's timestamp for that reason. The before-2028 last price is 0.8800. The researcher filed 0.8900. The editor reads 0.8800 last with 0.8900 now sitting in previous_price. The editor's read governs. The first request of the cycle was rate limited. The researcher's first call to the same URL returned HTTP 429 at 68 bytes at 2026-09-29T03:00:44Z, and a retry reached HTTP 200 at 03:00:57Z. That is recorded rather than hidden, because a rate limit is part of how these figures were obtained. Limits, and they matter more than the prices Rockstar has announced nothing whatsoever about a GTA VI Online release date. There is no date, no window and no confirmation that the product will carry that name. Every figure above describes an exchange, not a publisher. A market price is not information from Rockstar. It is the price at which two people were willing to trade a contract. Kalshi's own rules text says the exchange is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Rockstar Games in any way. Two of the three rungs are thin. The before-July-2027 rung has traded 824.31 in its lifetime and the before-2028 rung 1,544.31, against 76,236.87 on the original strike. A thin rung's price is set by a handful of trades. No cause is asserted for the move. This desk records that the price changed and by how much against its own published figure, and stops there. One read, one instant. Everything above describes the response served at 03:14:56Z on 29 September 2026 at 6,055 bytes. 29 September is 51 days before release, which is this desk's own arithmetic.
