The bi-annual speedrunning marathon Games Done Quick returns June 26 with Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) 2022.
The last three iterations of the marathon have been virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic but SGDQ 2022 will be a return to the full-fledged in-person speedrunning marathons of old. The event raises millions each year for the Prevent Cancer Foundations (AGDQ) and Doctors Without Borders (SGDQ). In January, AGDQ 2022 raised a total of $3,440,325 for PCF.
SGDQ runs 24/7 for almost a full week so there is an impossible amount of content to watch. You can view the full schedule here but we’ve picked a few highlights from each day that are worth tuning in for:
