July 10th 2024.
The world's top gamers have been discovered through a heated competition on True Achievements. More than 2,800 participants entered the fray, but after months of grueling challenges, only four have emerged as the final contenders.
While it may not have the same magnitude as the ongoing Esports World Cup with its massive £49 million prize pool across 21 games, True Achievements has its own prestigious contest called Leap Year Frog. The premise is simple: players must earn achievements in as many games as possible to claim the ultimate victory.
This intense contest began on February 1st with a whopping 2,805 hopefuls. And now, over five months later, only four players remain standing. According to the True Achievements website, the goal of Leap Year Frog is to earn at least one achievement in one more game than the previous 24-hour period. Failure to do so results in elimination from the competition.
To put this feat into perspective, today marks the 160th day since the competition began. That means these four remaining players had to secure achievements in a staggering 160 different games in just one day. And this isn't a one-time occurrence - they had to achieve 159 yesterday, 158 the day before, and so on. It's truly an impressive feat, but one that may not seem worth it considering the prize: one day of True Achievements Pro membership for each day survived.
It's certainly a unique competition, but let's take a moment to recognize the four gamers who have made it this far: Cyberber, BrutishMuffin, Black Blood, and Huaracocha. Interestingly, it seems that the competition has extended far beyond the initial expectations of the administrators. They used to update the remaining players daily, but now it's only done bi-weekly.
Unfortunately, not much information is available about the competition and the games being played. But it's safe to assume that these players are utilizing subscription services like Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, as well as their own game libraries, to quickly rack up achievements. It's a strategic approach, targeting games that offer achievements at a faster pace.

In other gaming news, Xbox Series X sales have fallen behind the Xbox One in the US, although the PS5 is still ahead of the PS4. And in a bizarre incident, a woman who ordered an Xbox controller from Amazon received a deadly cobra snake instead. Plus, a new Xbox dashboard was leaked by Top Gear, and it looks like it's designed for a portable device.
