Microsoft gives highest Gamerscore holder lifetime Xbox Live Gold

4.7
You may think your Xbox Live Gamerscore is high among your circle of Xbox 360 and Xbox One friends, but the man who can truly say his score is higher than anyone else got a big surprise as part of Microsoft' New York City launch of the Xbox One Thursday night.

Ray Cox IV, who goes by the Xbox Live Gamertag "Stallion83", currently holds the world record (confirmed by the Guinness company) for the highest Xbox Live Gamerscore. His goal is to reach the 1 million mark and as of Sunday, his Gamerscore on Xbox Live is now over 953,000. He has achieved such a huge score in part by playing Xbox 360 games that were not released for the U.S. market, along with Xbox Live scores that came from mobile games.

The final results impressed Microsoft so much, they invited Cox to attend the company's big Times Square launch event for the Xbox One this week. The Spike TV Xbox One launch show had Cox on camera talking with Microsoft's Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb about his accomplishment.

Hryb then surprised Cox with two gifts during the broadcast. One of the gifts was a rare white Xbox One launch team console. The other gift is something Microsoft has never given anyone else. Hryb handed Cox a box that inside contained the first ever lifetime Xbox Live Gold membership.

Cox was clearly in shock to be presented with such a unique item and later posted an image of the lifetime membership card on his Twitter feed, saying it was the "best gift ever" from the Microsoft Xbox team. By the way, another statement on his Facebook page claims that the card itself is 24k gold.

Rant I don't even want to know how long this guy plays Xbox each day.


I would think that he plays a fair bit. Keep in mind that the console has been out for 6-7 years though


Still, to get almost 1 million gamer score you'd need to play a considerable amount of time.

Mortar Just reading this sure makes you want to bash out every game available and surpass Stallion's gamerscore. I would be interested to know how many hours this guy has spent playing games, as surely it would be unbelievable.


I'm assuming he's played thousands of hours to get that much gamerscore.

Jayden- I've been following Stallion83 closely the past year, and I remember when their were celebrations when he hit the halfway mark of 500,000G.

He is ever so close now. 50,000G away seems like so much to everyday Xbox gamers, but to him, compared to the amount he already has, he is so so close.

I can't wait until he gets it. It's going to be awesome.


With the amount of new launch title, he should have it in no time.
I would say 1 million GS by the start of 2014.


Yeah, he will soon be on his way to 1mil, MS Should give him a better gamertag lol


That gamertag is so known, someone would buy it for like $1,000 or more lol that is how known he is.


It's a shabby gamertag though. He deserves a one letter GT


I suppose so, but his gamertag is known enough to sell and buy a 1 letter.


I suppose so. He should get a white xbone


Yeah, but lifetime Xbox Live is more then enough!


Haha I guess so lol, but XBL doesn't cost THEM anything


I don't know, but he also call the 24k gold thing that has the Lifetime in it, he could sell that.


Yeah it is quite cool that MS did this though. Biggest thing I have ever seen MS reach out and do


Well he probably made them some money as well, so they were like well you made us a million dollars I guess we could give you this.


He probably got a free Xbone for being famous anyway


I think he did actually, I seen some other pictures.


So lucky lol :D I want one hehe


Yeah could you imagine how much playing time he has in though.
