How to watch the 2023 Summer Games Done Quick marathon speedrun

Once again, it’s time to see experienced gamers play their favorite titles as quickly as possible in the name of a good cause. Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) is back with another week long charity speedrun. The event begins at 1 pm ET on Sunday, May 28, and will end at dawn on June 4. You can catch all the action on the Twitch Games Done Quick (GDQ) channel, listed below. If you miss a race you’re interested in, you’ll be able to catch up later on the GDQ YouTube channel.

The action starts with the debut of sonic frontiers in SGDQ and the event will conclude with a cooperative race of super metroid (Here’s hoping the runners save the animals.) There will be many, many runs in between, including half a dozen The Legend of Zelda titles. The heavy focus on Zelda probably shouldn’t come as a surprise given that Tears of the Kingdom has taken the gaming world by storm in recent weeks.

You can marvel at the beating of a runner breath of the wild in just a couple of hours blindfolded and another conquering elden ring as fast as possible without using any glitches. I am particularly looking forward to the super mario maker 2 relay race. They are always a blast at GDQ events. I am also intrigued by streaks of ring shaped adventure, Choo Choo Charles, hifi fever and one of my favorite games of all time, The curse of monkey island. You can check the complete schedule on the GDQ website.

SGDQ will broadcast live from Minneapolis with an audience in attendance. GDQ events are so much better with a live crowd reacting to amazing feats of video game prowess. Organizers hope to raise millions more dollars for Doctors Without Borders after raising more than $3 million during SGDQ 2022. Their goal will be to break the record for a GDQ event, which was set during Awesome Games Done Quick 2022. More than $3.4 million was raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. You will be able to donate through the GDQ website.
