The charity event was moved online this year after complications due to the spread of Covid-19 spurred the organisers to move away from a physical event to safeguard the health of its volunteers. Next year’s charity event will also be broadcasted from a studio next year, with participants performing speedruns from home. The event will take place on the same dates – January 3 through January 10 – and submissions for AGDQ 2021 open on September 24. The most recent Games Done Quick, dubbed Summer Games Done Quick 2020, raised an impressive $2.3 million for Doctors Without Borders. The event proved that the online setup (largely!) works just as well as a physical event, and the community spirit is as vibrant and inclusive as ever – even remotely over Twitch. Over $25.7 million has so far been raised for various charities across the initiative’s 25 marathons. http://youtube.com/watch?v=NVJtXpjgIV0
