Summer Games Done Quick 2022: $3 million raised for charity

The Done Quick Summer Games 2022 ended with over $3 million.

Video games attract very large and very dedicated communities, it must be admitted. And regular large-scale events allow you to fully assess the situation. Summer Games Done Quick 2022 took place this week. This is an opportunity for speedrunning professionals to try to break records in front of fans from all over the world to raise funds. And this 2022 edition was once again a great success.

Done Quick Summer Games 2022 has come to an end

As for this first in-person release since 2020, at least we can say that Summer Games Done Quick has hit hard. As a result, over $3.01 million was raised for Doctors Without Borders. Some of the best speedrunners in the world have ended up in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA to play a wide variety of games such as Doom Eternal, Tunic and Control. In seven days of this 2022 edition, Games Done Quick received over 42,000 individual donations.

Over $3 million raised

And if the final amount ends up staying below the record $3.4 million the organization raised for the Cancer Prevention Foundation during the Awesome Games Done Quick earlier in the year, that’s more than the $2.9 million raised during the 2021 SGDQ. The year’s event was also marked by the departure of Kasumi “Sumichu”Yogi. For the past eight years, Yogi has been Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Business Development at GDQ, helping the organization become what it is today. The next women-only Games Done Quick collection, Flame Fatales, launches August 21st. The funds raised will go to the Malala Foundation, an organization that campaigns for the education of girls.
