In one of the most bizarre gaming world records ever, Xbox went the extra mile (upwards) and partnered with American rapper and avid gamer Swae Lee to fly a helicopter around Miami and play a new game on a flying 200-foot screen.
Most gaming happens from the comfort of a couch or a suave leather chair.
But as new devices like VR consoles begin to take gamers to uncharted territory, Xbox has gone further than anyone has dared to before to get the ultimate experience.
Celebrating the release of hack-and-slash action-adventure title Ninja Gaiden 4, Xbox, Swae Lee, and Team Ninja Community Manager Emmanuel ‘Master’ Rodriguez took to the skies.

Talk about high-octane gaming, Xbox
We know gamers love taking things to the next level.
It’s why people have been driving 200MPH, 591HP sports cars with wireless PlayStation controllers and smashing Gran Turismo so much that it’s landed people in Nissan’s 24-hour Le Mans hotseat.
But in this latest stroke of marketing brilliance, Xbox has unlocked the ‘largest video game display flown by a helicopter’. While it doesn’t have a gamescore attached, it does earn a coveted place in the Guinness World Records.
With two helicopters, cutting-edge sports broadcasting technology to have a live-stream, a huge screen, and two people wild enough to play, the Xbox gameplay was on display for all to see.
Why was this all necessary? Well, it wasn’t.
But it emulates the gameplay and lore of Ninja Gaiden 4, where players take on unthinkable missions in a world that is dominated by skyscrapers, having built upwards to avoid toxic floodwaters.
The game was released on October 21, available for free on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or for $70 on Steam and PlayStation.
Swae Lee also debuted his new song ‘Flammable’ as the official soundtrack, which can be heard in the video at the top of the article.
One of many wacky gaming world records
This bonkers idea from Xbox is just one of many wonderful gaming records.
Recently, Red Bull teamed with former professional VALORANT superstar Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo to achieve the ‘longest distance kill’ in the world.
Using high-powered binoculars to take down an opponent, sitting 50 meters away from the screen, the Red Bull athlete put his reaction skills to the ultimate test and succeeded with incredible precision.
It’s not quite a helicopter ride, though.
But gaming also has world records in the wider tech industry, too. The upcoming GTA VI trailer is the most-watched video in a single day, usurping MrBeast by gaining 62.7 million views in 24 hours.
It’s no wonder that Xbox is inspiring people to deck out cars with its consoles, as gamers are getting a real itch for this on-the-go experience.
