If we look at **Rockstar Games**’ track record, the answer may not be pleasant. The company’s “staggered release” strategy [suggests that PC users may have to wait 12 to 18 months](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1rteisw/bro_thinks_hell_play_gta_6_his_pc_cute/) to get their hands on the game. ## Rockstar’s release pattern The developer has a long history of prioritizing consoles. With **GTA 5**, the gap between console and **PC** releaseswas a full 19 months. With **[Red Dead Redemption 2](https://viciados.net/games/red-dead-redemption-2/)**, however, the studio managed to reduce that window to about a year. Similarly, following this optimistic 12-month timeline, the PC version of **GTA 6** wouldn’t arrive until late 2027, possibly capitalizing on the December holiday season. ## The FiveM Factor in GTA 6 Here comes the detail that **Portal Viciados** discovered exclusively. As we previously revealed [through our colleague Rafael Vieira’s investigation at the INPI](https://viciados.net/governo-brasileiro-barreiras-marca-gta-6-brasil/) , Rockstar has already secured the **[FiveM](https://viciados.net/games/fivem/)** trademark in Brazil until 2031.

New Rockstar position focuses on TV and movie trailers](https://en.viciados.net/gta-6-without-postponements-new-rockstar-position-focuses-on-tv-and-movie-trailers/) This is a crucial point for **PC** players: the company knows that[Roleplay (RP) is what keeps the game alive on PC](https://viciados.net/com-gta-6-chegando-fivem-recorde-historico-steam/) for decades. By officially registering the trademark now, **Rockstar**is signaling that, although the **PC** version will take time, it will arrive with a much more solid server infrastructure than any previous release, possibly already integrating official **RP** tools from day one on **Windows**. **Check out:**[GTA 6 News?
