A gamer known as Stallion83 has blasted through the record for the highest gamerscore in the world, becoming the first person to reach two million.

Gamerscore is an achievements system on Xbox that tracks how people are progressing in games. As players make their way through, they are given points – and most players will have a few thousand, or a little more.

But Stallion83, whose real name is Ray Cox, had already broken the record to be the first person to achieve one million points. And now he has done it again, becoming the first person in the world to get two million.

The moment came after 13 years of gaming and was broadcast around the world. Xbox even sent Mr Cox a special controller with the big number written on it – which was used to get over the milestone and then will be put away and not used again, he said.

The moment came on Halo, which just happens to be Mr Cox's favourite gaming series. He was playing Halo: The Master Chief Collection and realised that would be a good game to push him past the big number, he said.

Now Mr Cox said he isn't sure whether he will reach the three million milestone.

"This I don’t know," he told Guinness World Records. "Two million has taken 13 years now. I got my first achievement on 22 November 2005. So, I did the 2 million almost 13 years to the day. I’ll always love video games and achievements and I’ll always be playing and going for them."
