Summer Games Done Quick raises over $3m dollars

Summer Games Done Quick has raised over $3m for Doctors Without Borders, a non-profit best known for its projects in conflict zones and in countries affected by endemic diseases, setting a new record for Games Done Quick.

The previous record was set earlier this year with Awesome Games Done Quick, which raised around $2.4m for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

The record-breaking event took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from June 23-30, seeing more than 180 speedruns completed including Resident Evil 2, Super Mario Bros. 2 and a blindfolded play-through of Punch-Out.

The precise figure that Summer Games Done Quick raised was $3,003,899, just surpassing the $3m mark in the final stretch.

The next Games Done Quick event will take place in September at TwitchCon and will be in aid of Able Gamers charity, which is dedicated to improving accessibility in the gaming space.
