Awesome Games Done Quick Hits Event Donation Record

Awesome Games Done Fast speedrunning marathon ended over the weekend. This event broke records including raising the most money for charity in one race. 

Taking the top spot in donation totals for any Games Done Quick event, at the time of the marathon ended the grand donation sum clocked in at $3,416,729 with even more money sent in after the fact. Prior record was $3.1 million. The new record easily surpasses that amount.

Awesome Games Done Quick and its aptly-named summer event sibling Summer Games Done Quick are week-long stream marathons where speedrunners show off their quickest times to complete games and collect funds for a deserving charity. AGDQ included some fun games such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories, a blindfolded run of Sekiro, Eternal Darkness (played for the first time at AGDQ), and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. The show ended with a Metal Gear Solid 1 hour, 21 minute “All Bosses” playthrough. Check out any of the runs from this past week at the Games Done Quick YouTube page.

Congratulations to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, the staff of Games Done Quick and runners involved in ADGQ, and those who donated for a great cause. The AGDQ page still accepts submissions if you are interested in increasing the total donation.
