Another Awesome Games Done Quick event is in the books, with the latest of the speedrunning marathons raising a whopping $2.75 million USD to benefit the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
As with most events, this year's iteration was held online for safety and to ensure it could continue in the midst of the global pandemic, and saw speedrunners from all over the world completing all manner of titles in blisteringly fast speeds for the enjoyment of viewers on Twitch.
Highlights included RPG Dragon Age: Origins completed in just 43:49 by Lemuura, Dishonored 2 in just 30:14 by DemonicRobots, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 in 16:31 by Party Man X and even a blindfolded (!) Super Mario 64 run by Bubzia in 39:09 to name but a few.
You can check out the full highlights on the Awesome Games Done Quick YouTube channel over here, and the next event will be the Summer Games Done Quick—AKA SGDQ 2021— to take place on a to-be-announced date later this year.
Our final #AGDQ2021 total is $2,758,847 for @preventcancer!
We hope that you had a wonderful time watching all of the runs and talented runners, and want to say thank you to everyone involved in the event, everyone who donated, and of course, all of you for being here with us! pic.twitter.com/nBShMysTxR
