“Another highlight included the AEW Fight Forever segment, where the audience raised signs and roared with growing excitement as if watching a real wrestling match,” the organisers said in a press statement.

Game Done Quick’s next event is the all-women and femmes speedrunning showcase Flame Fatales, coming on 7-14 September. The all-new Games Done Queer will run from 31 October to 2 November, and Awesome Games Done Quick returns 4-10 January in Pittsburgh, PA.

Last year’s Awesome Games Done secured an incredible $2,556,305 – that’s £2.1m – for the Prevent Cancer Foundation at the start of the year. The week-long fundraiser wrapped up with a speedrun of Super Metroid after attracting over 2000 in-person attendees and “tens of thousands” of viewers on Twitch.
