Nigerian, Oluwole sets new world record for 75 hours videogame

A Nigerian biochemist and auto dealer, Oside Oluwole, popularly known as Khoded, has emerged the new world record holder for the longest videogame marathon.

The Guinness World Record, GWR, made the announcement in a post on social media.

The 24-year-old Khoded set the record by playing a soccer videogame for 75 hours with over 500 games played.

He surpassed the previous 50 hour record set by Englishman, David Whitefoot, in 2022.

The biochemist embarked on the attempt to raise funds for a local hospital in his hometown, Iejbu-Ode.

Announcing Oluwole’s feat, GWR wrote: “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.”
