A more than considerable sum which will benefit the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which is obviously delighted with this success. “Your support means a lot to us @GamesDoneQuick. The #AGDQ2022 event was exciting and raised more than ever before – $3.4 million! It will make so much difference in the lives of so many people“, posted the account Twitter of the Cancer Foundation.
Among the highlights of this edition, it’s hard not to mention the case of Mitchriz who, in just 2 hours, went to the end of Sekiro… blindfolded. It’s not a joke but an improbable mixture of memorization and tracking through the sounds of the game. The result of repeated efforts for months, according to the author. Other records fell during this week of performances, in particular Kena: Bridge of Spirits finished in 28 minutes by InsertLogic by exploiting shortcuts far from being approved.
We also appreciate the skill of the participants on games as recent as Deathloop in 26 minutes, Death’s Door in 1h01, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in 1h30 or Lost Judgment in 2h37, but the retro is also part of the game with for example The Legend of Thor in 44 minutes. Fans of Zelda, Sonic or even Castlevania will also find something to do this year again.
Since its creation 12 years ago, the Games Done Quick organization has generated close to $38 million for various charities, including Doctors Without Borders. The 140 or so performances of the 2022 edition are available on the event’s YouTube channel, which generated 49,438 donations. Donations that will resume from February 27 to March 5 with Frost Fatales 2022, the next event of speedrunning 100% feminine, then with the Summer Games Done Quick 2022 whose details will be announced later.
