Held in Pittsburgh, PA from January 4-10, AGDQ welcomed thousands of in-person attendees, and was streamed 24/7 to viewers worldwide via Games Done Quick’s Twitch and YouTube channels.

Games new and old were raced through by talented speedrunners, with creative incentives and challenges helping drive donations. Highlights included a Resident Evil 2 Remake run played entirely on a Guitar Hero controller, a 70-person relay race of Super Mario 64, a Mario Kart World free roam challenge, a packed room of French-styled cosplayers during Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and a point-to-point race between two trucks in American Truck Simulator that elicited roars from the crowd. Every run is archived on the official Games Done Quick YouTube channel.

Since 2010, Games Done Quick has raised more than $59.8 million for charities worldwide, including Doctors Without Borders, Prevent Cancer Foundation, Malala Fund, and Organization for Autism Research.

More Games Done Quick events are on the way. Back to Black, GDQ’s speedrunning event organized by the Black in a Flash community, returns for its second annual showcase February 5-8. Summer Games Done Quick returns to Minneapolis July 5-11 to benefit Doctors Without Borders, and in 2027, Awesome Games Done Quick moves to Atlanta, GA, running January 3-9.
