GTA Online player sets Street Race world record and the prize money is embarrassing Rockstar GamesIt\u2019s the Olympics in real life, and while setting a record there will earn you a Gold Medal, GTA Online players aren\u2019t getting the same level of recognition or reward for their record-setting performances. If you\u2019ve ever played an online game with a leaderboard, chances are you\u2019ve dreamed about being ranked number one at some point. Despite very few people actually managing to pull off a world record performance, one GTA Online player has discovered it\u2019s not all it\u2019s cracked up to be\u2026 that is, if it even was a record to begin with. Redditor ProdigySK took to the site to post a clip of their Street Race video under the caption \u201cHow is this a world record?\u201d After gaining an insurmountable lead over their opponent, ProdigySK passed the finish line and noted they recorded a best lap of 01:13:323. Following this, a screen popped up stating \u201cyou set a world record.\u201d As impressive as they may have been, the reward left a lot to be desired. In total, just $6,230 in-game dollars were added to their account, which seems like a fraction of what a world record performance actually deserves. In the comments, some users agreed that a record race should earn players more like $1,000,000, while others argued that it wasn\u2019t a record to begin with. \u201cHeard another dude say he got WR as well. It\u2019s a bug. I\u2019ve got 1:11 on this track so it definitely isn\u2019t WR. Props on the clean driving though. Very satisfying watch,\u201d one commented. According to ProdigySK, this is the case. \u201cI just did a 1:08.512 with an upgraded calico and it said world record again so it\u2019s 100% bugged,\u201d they added. Regardless, even if it\u2019s not exactly a world record time, the fact that players only gain a touch over $6,000 for winning isn\u2019t exactly the best prize in the world. Hopefully Rockstar can make the prizes for records a bit better when GTA 6 finally releases in a trillion years from now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
