Every summer, gamers and speedrunners from around the world come together to participate in Games Done Quick (GDQ), a week-long charity event that raises money for various charities. This year’s GDQ event, Summer Games Done Quick 2023, was a huge success, raising $2.2 million for charity.

The event, which was held online due to the ongoing pandemic, featured a variety of gaming genres, including platformers, shooters, and RPGs. Speedrunners from around the world competed to complete games as quickly as possible, while viewers donated money to the charity of their choice.

The event was organized by Games Done Quick, a non-profit organization that has been hosting charity events since 2010. This year’s event was the largest yet, with over 1,000 speedrunners competing and more than 200,000 viewers tuning in.

The money raised during the event will be split between several charities, including Doctors Without Borders, the American Red Cross, and the International Rescue Committee. These charities provide aid to those affected by natural disasters, poverty, and other crises around the world.

The success of Summer Games Done Quick 2023 is a testament to the power of gaming for good. It shows that gamers can come together to make a difference in the world, and that gaming can be used to support important causes.

With the success of this year’s event, it’s clear that GDQ will continue to be a major force for good in the gaming community. We look forward to seeing what next year’s event will bring!
