One of the most anticipated speedrun events of the year, Summer Games Done Quick, kicks off today. The event will see some of the world's best speedrunners attempt to complete a variety of games as quickly as possible. Games featured in this year's event include classics such as Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, as well as newer releases such as Doom Eternal and Resident Evil Village. In addition to being a showcase for some truly impressive feats of gaming skill, Summer Games Done Quick is also a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders. Last year's event raised over $3 million for the charity, and this year's event is expected to attract even more donations. Whether you're a casual fan or a hardcore speedrunner, Summer Games Done Quick is definitely an event worth checking out.
Games Done Quick (GDQ) is a biannual event that brings together the best speedrunners from around the world to play video games for charity. The event is streamed live on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel, and viewers can also donate to the chosen charity (which changes each event). This year's summer event will take place from June 24-30, and will feature a variety of popular games, including Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. As always, the event will be completely free to watch, and donations are entirely optional. So if you're looking for a fun way to support a good cause, be sure to tune in to GDQ this summer.
