Polymarket, a decentralized prediction platform, is currently letting users bet real money on whether Jesus will return before the long-delayed video game GTA VI drops on May 26, 2026. Yes, seriously.
Here’s how it works: If our Lord and Savior’s Second Coming happens before GTA VI is released, the market resolves to “Yes.” If the game launches first, it’s a “No.” And if neither happens by July 31, 2026? Everyone gets half their money back and presumably reflects on their life choices.
As of this writing, the odds of Jesus showing up ahead of the game were sitting at 15 percent. That means some users genuinely believe the Son of Man could beat GTA‘s notoriously delayed production pipeline. Bold faith. Or just bold trolling.
Of course, the Bible is pretty clear that “no one knows the day or the hour” — but Polymarket users seem fine with guessing anyway. Which, if nothing else, proves that in 2025, even the apocalypse can be gamified.
Place your bets. Or maybe just… don’t.
