Summer Games Done Quick Schedule Revealed

Speed running's biggest event is returning! Summer Games Done Quick has been announced with an awesome lineup of games and creators.

Summer Games Done Quick is a speedrunning marathon that has nonstop speedrunning action for a week in an attempt to raise money for charity. This year, the marathon will benefit Doctors Without Borders, a nonprofit that provides medical assistance to people based on need, regardless of race, religion, gender, and more.

Games Done Quick will take place from June 30 to July 6 at the Hilton Minneapolis Downtown in Minnesota. There will also be a Juneteenth Celebration on June 22 and 23 beforehand.

The official broadcast for Summer Games Done Quick will be on the event's Twitch channel. You can donate directly from this livestream. The Junteenth celebration, which features all black speed runners, will also be on this Twitch channel.

There is an entire week of speed running planned for this exciting marathon. You'll be able to watch classic games like Mario 64 and new games, with speed runners taking on a variety of challenges. Check out the full schedule here, starting with Yoshi's Story and ending with the Super Mario RPG Remake. In between, you'll see Kirby's Adventure, Baldur's Gate 3, Zoombinis, Barbie, Mega Man, Pokemon Violet, and more!
