Xbox and Destiny 2 have set a new record together in the Guinness Book of Records. Bungie’s action MMO was played on a “screen” of a different kind – a mountain.
What’s happening in Destiny 2 right now? It’s a festive season in Destiny 2, as the annual winter event “The Dawning” has begun with the weekly reset on December 15. The Tower is decked out in festive decor and covered with snow and beautiful lights.
But snow and beautiful light displays are not just present in the Tower. Destiny 2 has also recently attracted attention in real life – with a new record.
Xbox and Destiny 2 set a record in the Guinness Book of Records
What is the record about? The world record was actually set by Xbox – with their new next-gen console Xbox Series X. Destiny 2 was played – in a special location and on an extraordinary screen. This earned an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
Destiny 2 in “large”, please: Xbox installed a Series X near the summit of Copper Mountain (Colorado, USA) and used high-performance projectors with a total of 120,000 lumens to project the console’s image onto the side of the mountain. The mountain effectively served as a gigantic screen, on which a lucky gamer was able to play Destiny 2: Beyond Light at night.
And that’s exactly why there was an entry in the Guinness Book. Xbox and Destiny set a new record for the largest projected video game display in the world. It looked not only impressively large but also quite stunning.
The size of the projection surface: The unusual “screen” had dimensions of 54.9 meters (width) x 32.29 meters (height), covering an area of 1,773.52 square meters.
What do you think about this? Would you also like to experience Destiny 2 against such a backdrop or on such a large screen? Or are you not a fan of large TVs and prefer to play on smaller monitors?
In 2021, Guardians can also look forward to a record number of players. True crossplay is on the way and is set to unite all platforms and systems: Destiny 2 is focusing on crossplay in 2021: What is planned and what it means for you
