A browser-based FPS called Man vs Machine was host to the record-setting largest online gaming session ever, with 999 simultaneous online players joining together in session on Monday. According to CEO Christian Lönnholm of MuchDifferent, the Swedish non-profit technology organization that developed Man vs Machine, the record was confirmed by Guinness World Records and is now an official world record.
