Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online concluded its week-long 24-hour charity stream today, having raised more than $2.8 million for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders. The event was broadcast live on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel and GamesDoneQuick.com. A video archive of SGDQ Online 2021 can be found on the official Games Done Quick YouTube channel.
Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online ran from July 4-11 and was highlighted by memorable runs such as Plexa’s run of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, teddyras’s run of Gone Golfing, JCog’s cartridge-swapping run of Paper Mario, havrd’s perfect-score GeoGuessr run, and ZooKetra’s Nintendogs run, which was spoiled by the antics of a hilariously disobedient labrador retriever.
SGDQ Online 2021 will be followed later in the summer by the Fleet Fatales speedrunning event from August 15-21, 2021. Games Done Quick also announced that Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 will return January 9-16, 2022.
