Summer Games Done Quick 2018 has come to an end. Following Saturday night's Final Fantasy VI run, the event wrapped up, but everyone is departing with something to be proud of. That's because the multitude of speedrunners featured throughout the week combined their talents to raise over $2 million for Doctors Without Borders.
The final donation total for SGDQ 2018 stands at $2,122,249. This does not include T-shirt sale proceeds from The Yetee, sponsor donations, Humble Bundle proceeds, Twitch Bits, or proceeds from Twitch channel subscriptions, including Twitch Prime subscriptions. This is expected to increase the final donation total well beyond the initial $2 million.
With the remaining Bloomington, MN crowd ready to head home, there was still one final piece of business to attend to. That involved the date and location for next year's Awesome Games Done Quick. For 2019, Awesome Games Done Quick will head to Rockville, MD on the week of January 6-13.
However, that's not all that Games Done Quick has planned for this year. Remember that Games Done Quick Express will bring speedrunning to this year's TwitchCon for round-the-clock runs from October 26-28. Money raised there will go to the various charities in attendance at the TwitchCon Charity Plaza.
