This best-selling series - with over 5 million copies sold to date - celebrates the greatest achievements in videogaming by exploring the biggest-selling titles, the fastest speedrunners, the most prolific collectors, the highest-earning esports stars and the most critically acclaimed developers.

 Aimed at generalist gamers and skewed towards younger readers, the GAMER'S EDITION offers up bite-sized nuggets of trivia, facts, stats and of course world records, covering the best-loved and most-played games, from arcade classics such as Space Invaders and Pac-Man via modern blockbusters like Legend of Zelda, Pokémon and Call of Duty, to the latest console and PC big-hitters - Fortnite, Minecraft, Hogwart's Legacy and Starfield. Plus, you'll get to meet every major gaming character: Mario, Sonic, Lara Croft, Link and many more.

 The book kicks off with a review of the last year of gaming, summarizing the biggest news stories and a rundown of the big winners at the major videogame awards and conventions. Gaming is now a ubiquitous part of modern life, with 97% of children and adolescents playing at least an hour a day.

The GWR GAMER'S EDITION 2025 combines this passion for play with the rigour and accuracy of Guinness World Records... a partnership as successful as Ratchett & Clank, Mario & Luigi, Ryu & Ken or Sonic & Knuckles! It's time to level up!
