New Delhi: It’s not every day that a video game delay becomes a topic in a national parliament, but that’s exactly what happened in Poland. The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been pushed back yet again, and this time, even politicians seem to be feeling the sting. The game, originally expected in May 2026, will now release on November 19, 2026.

The delay sparked global reactions online, from memes to mock protests. But what really grabbed attention was a surprising moment inside Poland’s Parliament, where one lawmaker brought up Rockstar’s announcement during an official session.

Polish MP complains about GTA 6 delay during session

A Reddit user named Tjudool first spotted the moment and shared it on the r/GTA6 subreddit. The viral clip shows Polish MP Witold Tumanowicz of the far-right Confederation Party addressing Parliament with a straight face before dropping a line that left everyone confused and amused.

He said, “As part of my parliamentary statement, I wanted to inform you about a very disturbing matter. 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.”

It’s safe to say that his words caused a stir. Some lawmakers chuckled. Others didn’t seem impressed at all. The MP appeared to be joking, smiling as he spoke, but many Poles online didn’t take it that lightly.

The internet reacts to an “absurd scene”

Local media in Poland described it as an “absurd scene” in Parliament. For some, the lighthearted remark was harmless, a bit of satire in a room often filled with serious faces. But others saw it as out of touch, saying it showed how politics sometimes gets distracted by trivial matters.

The whole thing feels like one of those moments you’d expect to see in a meme compilation rather than a government broadcast. On social media, reactions ranged from laughter to frustration. Some users joked that even politicians were losing patience waiting for GTA 6, while others called it a “sad reflection of priorities.”

Why this delay matters so much

The GTA franchise has built a global following since the 2000s, and the long wait for the sixth installment has stretched over a decade. Every small update from Rockstar Games makes headlines and triggers millions of comments online. When the company confirmed that GTA 6 would now arrive in November 2026, fans around the world shared mixed reactions—some understanding, others furious.

Rockstar hasn’t given a detailed reason for the latest shift, but delays like this are often tied to quality control or production challenges or maybe due to the recent exits. With GTA 6 expected to become one of the most expensive games ever made, exceeding budgets of several thousand crores in Indian rupees, the studio likely wants to make sure it gets everything right.

Long wait…

For now, GTA 6 fans can only mark their calendars for November 19, 2026 (IST), and hope that this delay will be the last one. As Tumanowicz said with a smirk, “If people don’t take to the streets after something like this…I don’t know what will happen.”
