Most people probably have a couple of video game consoles hooked up to their TV. But Ibrahim Al-Nasser is not like most people. The Saudi Arabian has connected 444 systems to a single television, making him the Guinness World Records holder for the feat.
But how exactly are hundreds of consoles working on a single TV when most these days have only a few HDMI ports–let alone the fact old systems used different connections? According to Guinness World Records, Ibrahim utilizes roughly 30 RC switchers, 12 HDMI switchers, and other devices. Additionally, he created an Excel spreadsheet to help navigate everything, which he shows off in a video (seen below) posted on X.

Ibrahim has current-gen consoles like the PS5 connected to the TV, as well as 1972’s Magnavox Odyssey. Other systems hooked up include Nintendo 64, Neo Geo, and Wii U. To get to 444, he also has plug-and-play devices and HDMI game sticks linked up to the TV, according to Guinness World Records.
