Cath Bowie, 78, Named Guinness World Records' Oldest Female Fortnite Streamer
Bowie built a Twitch following of more than 24,000 as she turned a childhood hobby into a daily stream, Guinness World Records said.
- Guinness World Records has named 78-year-old Cath Bowie from Aberdeen as the world's oldest female Fortnite streamer, with her story featured in the new Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2027.
- Bowie discovered Fortnite in 2017 after watching her grandson play, finding the excitement she sought in the battle royale game; she later purchased her own console and began streaming.
- Streaming under the username 'grumpygran1948,' she now maintains an audience of around 24,000 followers, despite her grandson initially suggesting nobody would watch her play.
- For Bowie, gaming is as much about community and challenge as winning; she said 'I love the community. I chat all the time, and I just love the whole atmosphere' and plays daily.
- Guinness World Records editor Alice Bell said this year's Gamer's Edition 'champions the breadth of creativity and achievement' in modern gaming; Bowie's message to aspiring older gamers is 'Never let anyone tell you that you're too old.
