Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to YES if Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is made available to play or keep for free via an official "free weekend", "free play days", "free trial", or similar limited-time promotion on at least one major platform (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC) at any point between September 23, 2028, and November 7, 2028 (inclusive).

Otherwise, this market will resolve to NO.

Key Clarifications:

• Eligible Promotions: Any official public promotion where the base game is temporarily free to download and play (e.g., Steam Free Weekend, Xbox Free Play Days, PlayStation Free Trial) or permanently free to keep (e.g., Epic Games Store giveaways) without requiring a purchase of the game.

• Exclusions:

  • Subscriptions: Standard inclusions in paid multi-game catalogs (such as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium, or GTA+) do not qualify unless the game is also free to non-subscribers. (Note: standard platform requirements for online multiplayer, like Game Pass Core or PlayStation Plus Essential, are acceptable if the game trial itself is free).

  • Closed tests: Invite-only playtests, closed alphas, or closed betas do not qualify.

  • Unofficial/pirated releases do not count.

• Timing: The US Presidential Election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2028. The 1.5-month window prior to this date begins on September 23, 2028. If any portion of the free access period overlaps with this date range, the market resolves to YES.

• Sources: Resolution will be determined using the official Rockstar Games Newswire or verified platform storefront listings (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, Epic Games Store).

Background

Grand Theft Auto VI is officially scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026. A PC release is expected to follow at a later date, historically a year or more after the console release. Rockstar Games rarely offers free play periods for its flagship titles, making a free weekend in late 2028 a highly anticipated but historically unusual event. This market tracks whether such a promotion will materialize in the final weeks leading up to the 2028 US Presidential Election.
