This would mark the third-highest donation total in the organization’s history with the Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 marathon setting the record at $3.4 million earlier this year, followed by the Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 event at over $3.1 million raised.
Summer Games Done Quick 2022 was the first event to be held in-person after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most operations starting in 2020. The last event to be held in-person was AGDQ 2020, and all events held after were online-only.
SGDQ 2022 had over 130 runs of various games such as Tunic, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Minecraft, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, and more. There was also a Super Mario Sunshine run that seemingly ended in disaster, but bounced back with a flurry of donations and support from the community. Complete runs can be watched from the Games Done Quick YouTube channel.
The organization’s next event will be Flame Fatales, an all-women speedrunning showcase, that will be taking place online from Aug. 21-27.
