Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Goes Online
Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of the community, Games Done Quick has made the difficult decision to move AGDQ 2021 to an entirely online format and will not feature a live venue. Similar to SGDQ 2020, we will broadcast the event from our studio, with runners participating from the safety of their homes. The broadcast dates will remain the same, with AGDQ 2021 showcasing some of the best speedrunners in the world from January 3rd-10th, 2021.
Game Submissions for AGDQ 2021 will open September 24th, 2020, and will close on October 4th, with an anticipated schedule release on November 9th. For additional dates, please see the sidebar.

Raising 2.3 million, all online!
Thanks to all of the amazing support from viewers, donors, runners, volunteers, sponsors, staff and more, Games Done Quick held its summer event completely remotely, to the tune of 2.3 million dollars raised for Doctors Without Borders!

What is Games Done Quick?
Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons. These events feature high-level gameplay by speedrunners raising money for charity.

We are currently the largest fundraising event globally for both charities!
