\n#AGDQ2022<\/a> has raised a total amount of $3,416,729 for @preventcancer<\/a>! This is officially the most we’ve ever raised in the history of @GamesDoneQuick<\/a> – ANOTHER WR\ud83c\udfc6

Taking the top spot in donation totals for any Games Done Quick event, at the time of the marathon ended the grand donation sum\u00a0clocked in at $3,416,729 with even more money sent in after the fact. The prior record sat around $3.1 million, with the new total handily surpassing that number.<\/p>\n

Awesome Games Done Quick and its aptly-named summer event sibling\u00a0Summer Games Done Quick\u00a0are week-long stream marathons where\u00a0speedrunners show off their quickest times to complete games and collect funds for a deserving charity. This year’s AGDQ featured some very fun exhibitions of games like Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories, a blindfolded run of Sekiro<\/a>,\u00a0Eternal Darkness (played for the first time at AGDQ), and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade<\/a>. Capping off the show was a 1 hour 21 minute “All Bosses” playthrough of Metal Gear Solid. Check out any of the runs from this past week at the\u00a0Games Done Quick YouTube page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, the staff of Games Done Quick\u00a0and runners involved in ADGQ, and those who donated for a great cause. If you’re interested in bolstering the donation total even more, it looks like the AGDQ page is still accepting submissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
