The next Awesome Games Done Quick charity speedrun starts in less than 48 hours! Set your clocks for January 5 at 9 AM because that’s when the fun begins again…the marathon benefits the Prevent Cancer Foundation, with each donation going to the organization 100% (the sponsors AGDQ has are paying for the expenses of running it). Humble Bundle is also stepping in with a special AGDQ bundle that includes seven of this year’s games for just $12 (but you can donate more).
Highlights in the schedule this year include a run of Crazy Taxi with a live band performing the songs from the game, a “2 player, 1 controller” session of Breath of The Wild, a Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS) showcase for Super Mario 64 and a randomized version of Ocarina of Time. Other planned runs include Astro Bot, Wind Waker, Tomb Raider (2013), Snake Rattle & Roll on the NES, Final Fantasy Legend II on the Game Boy, UFO 5O (“Various Games Showcase”), Super Meat Boy, Sonic Origins, Yakuza, Shenmue, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Batman Forever: The Arcade Game, Tears of the Kingdom (All Dungeons), Lies of P, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Super Mario World, Road Runner’s Death Valley Rally, Elden Ring and many many more.
The always delightful Awful Games Block will return on the night of January 8 and kick things off with the infamous Superman 64, followed by Squirrel With A Gun, Big Rigs. Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon and something called “Golf With Your Grandmother.”
You can watch the full event on the GDQ Twitch channel and YouTube, or on any device that supports one of those two things. AGDQ 2025 takes place at the Wyndham Grand in downtown Pittsburgh from January 5 to 12.
