Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon Gaming World Record Challenge
The tech giant is partnering with the Guinness Book of World Records at E3 for a contest that will challenge 50 gamers to play tablet games for 26 hours straight.
The Snapdragon Gaming World Record Challenge happen during the annual gaming convention and is being held to promote Qualcomm's Snapdragon mobile processor. It will take place in the Gilbert Lindsey Plaza in front of the Los Angeles Convention Center on June 5th and 6th.
If you'd like to participate, a qualifying event will be held on Tuesday, May 22 at the Lexington Social House in Hollywood. The 50 top players at that event will be invited to attempt the world record at E3. If you make it that far, you'll play tablet games from Gameloft, Halfbrick, Sega, and Namco Bandai on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. There will be up to $50,000 in cash and prizes awarded -- including a grand prize of $20,000.
As some of the Game Informer staff learned, setting a world record is hard work! So we wish all the participants the best.
