There were 148 runs, 159 prizes given out, and 20,430 donors who made an average donation of $68.71. These donations were made through direct donations, Twitch subscriptions and bits given during Games Done Quick's streams, and purchases from partners like The Yetee and Fangamer. This year's SGDQ featured its first ever VR speedrun in Half-Life: Alyx, alongside games like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Bros., and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The Games Done Quick events usually take place in person, just like Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 that raised $3.13 million, but the COVID-19 pandemic made it so SGDQ 2020 was fully online. It was an unfortunate change, but it's great to see it was still a huge success.
