Cath Bowie, a 78-year-old grandmother from Aberdeen, Scotland, has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest female Fortnite streamer.Better known to her online community by her streaming handle “grumpygran1948,” Bowie first caught the gaming bug in 2017 after watching her grandson play on his PlayStation.
What started as casual curiosity quickly turned into a passion; she set up her own account and began broadcasting her gameplay online, eventually building an enthusiastic following of tens of thousands of fans.

Reflecting on the milestone, Bowie shared an inspiring message for players of all ages: “Never let anyone tell you that you’re too old. You are never too old to start gaming. Do it.”
