A Nigerian man named Oside Oluwole, also known as Khoded, has set a new world record for playing a videogame the longest without stopping.

The Guinness World Records (GWR) announced this achievement on social media.

Khoded, who is 24 years old and works as a biochemist and car dealer, played a soccer videogame for 75 hours straight. During this time, he played over 500 games.

This beats the old record of 50 hours, which was set by an Englishman named David Whitefoot in 2022.

Khoded didn’t just do this for fun. He wanted to raise money for a hospital in his hometown of Iejbu-Ode.

The GWR said this about Khoded’s achievement: “Before no one in the past has broken this record by such a large margin as Oside has. It was first set in 2010 with a time of 24 hours and gradually increased to 50 hours after being beaten seven times in 11 years.”
