40 Hours of Playing Grand Theft Auto IV Get You in the Record Book You Bet!

A man from Mumbai, India broke the record for playing Grand Theft Auto IV for 40 hours and 20 minutes. 26-year-old Chirantan Patnaik took the Guiness World Record title of playing the longest time for Grand Theft Auto IV to India. He only took four breaks during the whole 40 hour record breaking ordeal which Guinness allowed 10 minute breaks every hour. This record surpassed the previous record which was 28 hours and 1 minute which was held by a American.

He said “There are so many other games which I have played for long hours. But I had never tried playing this particular game seriously. However, I knew that I can do it after I saw my brother playing it.” He also added “I enjoyed the game very much,” he says. “It’s fun playing long hours. It wasn’t that exhaustive for me, as one might feel”.

Definitely reminded me of my days on World of Warcraft, but 40 hours is just too hardcore for me. Congratulation to Chirantan Patnaik and of course India.
