The feat, which was streamed partially through Grant's YouTube channel, Loot Before You Leap, was officially recognized by Guinness World Records on the 29th of January, with Taylor sharing the news via social media.

I did it!
38 hours later and I'm the first person in history to set the record, using #Warzone as my game.
So proud.#CallofDuty#WorldRecord#ModernWarfare

The marathon happened back in September of last year. Taylor's initial goal was to stream at least 36 hours, but he pushed it even further, finishing with an official time of 38 hours and 17 minutes.
Making it into the Guinness World Records wasn't all that Taylor had in mind, as the entire stream was a charity event for SpecialEffect, an organization that aids those with disabilities to get into gaming.
Warzone players have been chasing the "most kills in a single-game" record for a while and can now set their sights on breaking Grant's extended battle-royale session. Hopefully, doing so for a great cause at the same time.
