The annual marathon sprint event was held July 5-11.
Summer Games Done Quick is officially over after a marathon week of speedrunning games for a good cause, and organizers say they raised a total of $2,408,701 for Doctors Without Borders in that time (again!). The annual event in Minneapolis began July 5 and concluded early Sunday morning. Approximately 2,500 people showed up in person, in addition to the thousands of viewers who watched at home.
This year’s Summer Games Done Quick brought a new speedrunning world record: streamer azulkandy completed a series of No Dupes Kirby air raiders with a final time of 37 minutes and 54 seconds. Other highlights include “a Balatro race that beat all odds and improvised beatboxing during the Resident Evil: Requiem run,” the organizers noted in an announcement. Everything was broadcast on Games Done Quick Twitch and YouTube channels, where you can find the full video archive now if you missed something while the event was live.
