Speedruns, massive amounts of money raised, and gaming feats nosotros've never witnessed earlier were all part of Crawly Games Done Quick in 2022. The speedrunning focused event, which spanned January 9 to January 16, raised a staggering $iii.4 million dollars for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, a record for all Games Washed Quick events.

All the same, that wasn't the simply record-breaking financial achievement at this twelvemonth's event. AGDQ 2022 was as well the fastest GDQ event to reach a 1000000 dollars.

But what nearly the video game-related records? Well, there were many of those cleaved besides. Some highlights included a 28:35 run of Kena: Span of Spirits past InsertLogic and a 43:47 run of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode ii by Argick and Ambercyprian.

Yet, the most talked-about run of the event was definitely by streamer Mitchriz who completed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in just over ii hours, blindfolded. Yep, you read that correctly. Mitchriz used audio cues and memorization to beat the game blindfolded and even defeated some of the game's nigh challenging enemies without taking whatsoever damage. This run had the cyberspace ablaze, causing the words "blindfolded" and "Sekiro" to trend on Twitter in the U.South. and U.G.

Now, it only remains to be seen if Games Done Quick can beat that $3,416,729 record during their summer event, Summer Games Done Quick 2022.
