Awesome Games Done Quick event also reached new record for donations.
A speedrunner at Awesome Games Done Quick completed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in two hours blindfolded.
The speedrun was part of the digital event that raised over $3.4m for Prevent Cancer Foundation.
Not only was this the highest total for a single GDQ event, AGDQ 2022 reached $1m in donations in the shortest amount of time.
The Sekiro speedrun was done by streamer Mitchriz using only memory and audio cues to guide him, although he previously completed the game in less time.
“I finally did it after the months of grinding. Really happy with this one, and so excited to show off all the new strategies at GDQ,” tweeted Mitchriz back in 2021.
