Summer Games Done Quick 2025 has closed, raising $2,436,614 – £1.8m – for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières.
Thousands of people stopped by the week-long event held in Minnesota, with “many more” watching via the charity’s Twitch channel as participants took on some of the most popular speedruns including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
“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.
