World’s largest video game projection record shattered
A 4,300 sqm display by Limelight Projection Mapping and WorldStage is more than twice the size of the previous Guinness World Record set just last year.
Limelight Projection Mapping and WorldStage have produced the world’s largest projected video game display, more than doubling the size of the previous Guinness world record.
The 4,300 sqm, (46,733.65 sq ft) mapping of the Tropicana Las Vegas resort celebrated the fourth anniversary of Free Fire, the most downloaded mobile video game of 2019 and 2020.
Fifty-two projectors and 10 media servers were required for the achievement, and the 3D light art show generated more than 1.6 million lumens of light.
According to gaming website reports, the projection mapping event was accompanied by a performance by Las Vegas musician Percussia, while DJs Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Alok and KSHMR separately worked together to create a Free Fire fourth anniversary theme song, titled Reunion.
Free Fire is an online multiplayer shooter game, published by Garena, which is reported to have grossed over $1 billion worldwide by 2019, with over 80 million daily active users globally as of May 2020.
The new Guinness World Record comes just nine months after the previous record was set in November 2020, when US-based Paintscaping mapped 1,774 sqm of Copper Mountain in Colorado on behalf of Xbox.
