For those out of the loop, Games Done Quick hosts speedrunning charity events every year – with many talented gamers helping to raise funds by blazing through various games in record time. Well, this year’s Awesome Games Done Quick event was no different!
Following the end of the event yesterday, the event’s organizations revealed that they had raised an astonishing $3,131,475 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation during the past week. This exceeded last year’s AGDQ, which raised $2.39 million in a similar period.
The final total for #AGDQ2020 is: $3,131,475!
