Summer Games Done Quick 2023 Wraps Up With $2.2 Million Raised
The week-long speedrunning event raised over $2 million for Doctors Without Borders
Since the first Games Done Quick event in 2010, the organisation has raised over $46.2 million for charities including Doctors Without Borders, Prevent Cancer Foundation, Organization for Autism Research, CARE, and the Malala Fund.
One of the standout runs of the week was Bubzia's blindfolded Breath of the Wild run, which was completed even faster than estimated in a total of one hour and 33 minutes. The run showed off the runner's fantastic technical skills, paired with in-depth expert analysis of the techniques on show. The blindfolded BOTW run was scheduled as a bonus event, meaning it would only happen if fans reached a certain donation threshold--in this case $2 million.
Games Done Quick's next event is the all-women Flame Fatales showcase in August.
