The annual Awesome Games Done Quick speedrunning marathon is back, kicking off this Sunday at the Wyndham Grand in Pittsburgh, PA. The event starts with a 24/7 stream of a Pikmin speedrun on the official Games Done Quick Twitch channel, followed by uploads to the YouTube channel for video on demand.
This year’s schedule includes new additions such as Astro Bot, which will have a two and a half hour speedrun, as well as a under-30 minute speedrun of Unicorn Overlord. Other hilarious games lined up include Superman 64, Squirrel with a Gun, and Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon.
Speedrunners will tackle games from various genres and eras in an attempt to beat them as quickly as possible. The marathon also serves as a fundraising event for charity, with this year’s Awesome Games Done Quick raising money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Last year’s AGDQ raised over $2.5 million, bringing the total amount raised by Games Done Quick to over $50 million.
Viewers can catch the full schedule and tune in to the event starting this Sunday at 9am Eastern/12pm Pacific.
