Summer Games Done Quick 2024 is over for another year, raising £1.9m ($2.5m) for the charity Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières.
That brings the speedrunning organiser’s lifetime total to a staggering £40m/$51m across all its events for charities like AbleGamers, Doctors Without Borders, Organisation for Autism Research, Malala Fund, National Women’s Law Center, and Prevent Cancer Foundation.
Running 24-hours a day from 30th June to 6th July in Minnesota – and broadcast across the world on Games Done Quick’s Twitch channel – the in-person event was “filled with delightful moments”, including everyone’s favourite pup Peanut Butter playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball.
