Get your grills fired up, hot dogs ready, and sparklers on standby—Summer Games Done Quick 2025 is just around the corner! This much-anticipated annual speedrunning charity marathon, supporting Doctors Without Borders, kicks off on July 6th and wraps up on July 12th. Here’s your go-to guide on how to catch all the high-speed action!

When and Where to Watch

Mark your calendars! The event begins on Sunday, July 6th, at 1:30 PM ET, streaming live on Twitch. If you can’t catch it live, don’t fret—Games Done Quick’s YouTube channel typically posts video on demand just hours after each run concludes. Make sure you check the schedule daily for exciting prime-time runs, but don’t overlook those off-hours and midday slots either; that’s where you’ll discover hidden gems, like LRock617’s much-anticipated run of Batman Forever: The Arcade Game from AGDQ 2025!

Must-Watch Runs!

Get ready for heart-pounding excitement this year! Keep an eye out for a thrilling Blue Prince race late Monday night on July 7th and a high-stakes Titanfall 2 race on Wednesday, July 9th. Personally, I can't wait to be glued to my screen for the Balatro run on Friday, July 11th. And don’t miss the spectacular finale on Saturday featuring bonus runs for Mario Kart World Knockout races alongside Deltarune Chapters 1 and 2. Rumor has it, if donations hit a certain milestone, fans could unlock runs for Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 too!

More Than Just Entertainment!

In a time when the gaming industry faces its ups and downs, Summer Games Done Quick offers a refreshing sense of community and positivity. This year, more than ever, we need an event that showcases the passion of gamers and developers alike. Let’s celebrate the spirit of gaming and come together to support a good cause!
