When Rockstar Games delayed Grand Theft Auto VI yet again last week, it didn’t just shake the gaming world; it somehow managed to reach the political stage in Poland. The game’s release date change, now set for November 19, 2026, has sparked reactions everywhere, from social media memes to, surprisingly, parliamentary speeches.
During a recent session of the Polish Parliament (Sejm), MP Witold Tumanowicz from the far-right Confederation Party took to the podium to voice his “concern” about the GTA 6 delay. What started as a routine political statement quickly turned into an unexpected gaming rant, and yes, it’s as bizarre as it sounds.
“As part of my parliamentary statement, I wanted to inform you about a very disturbing matter,” Tumanowicz said. “An hour ago, Rockstar Games announced that the release of GTA VI will be postponed until next year. This is a huge scandal. Frankly, if people don’t take to the streets after something like this… I don’t know what will happen.”
The moment was first spotted by Reddit user Tjudool, who shared the clip on the r/GTA6 subreddit. And as you might expect, it instantly went viral. Many users couldn’t believe what they were watching: an elected official passionately discussing a video game delay on the floor of Parliament.
Now, to clarify, Tumanowicz wasn’t exactly launching a protest movement. As per reports by Polish news outlets, the MP delivered his speech with a grin, seemingly mocking how Parliament often wastes time on trivial discussions. Still, not everyone found it funny. Some Polish citizens criticized the move as “tone-deaf,” calling it an “absurd scene” given the country’s ongoing political issues. Others, however, saw it as lighthearted satire, a tongue-in-cheek jab at how politicians prioritize their time.
Whether you find it hilarious or ridiculous, the incident proves just how massive Rockstar’s upcoming release has become. It’s not just a game anymore; it’s a cultural event big enough to interrupt government proceedings.
