78-year-old woman earns Guinness World Record

A 78-year-old female gamer from Scotland has made history by livestreaming a video game on the world’s most popular online platform, Twitch, earning a place in the Guinness World Records.

The elderly woman, named Keith Bowie, has been livestreaming on the gaming platform under the name “grumpygran48” for the past nine years. She became interested in Fortnite in 2017 after watching her grandson play the game and soon developed a passion for it herself.

Keith says that despite growing older, she has never allowed her age to become a barrier to pursuing her passion. She said, “I don’t consider myself just a gamer; I consider myself a true Fortnite player.”

Keith, who turned 78 on September 1, has been included in the “Guinness World Records Gamers’ Edition 2027.”

Expressing her great happiness at receiving the honour, Keith said it had always been her wish, and today it had finally come true.
