Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 Schedule Released

It feels a bit early to be thinking about something like this, but Awesome Games Done Quick typically runs its week of charity speedruns during the first full week of the year, and one quick glance at the calendar says we’ve already burned through 2/3 of November, so….guess it really is time. The full schedule of speedruns has been finalized.

AGDQ benefits, as always, the Prevent Cancer Foundation — a disease that just took the life of gaming industry pioneer Rebecca Heineman. That’s the last straw — it’s gotta be stopped! As you watch the stream, you can donate to PCF and each tax-deductible donation will apply to something, whether it’s a vote on what should happen in the next run, an entry to win a prize, or a goal to unlock an extra performance.

As for the games this year, GDQ’s own bullet points say to expect these:

• Super Mario Sunshine – Any% on Gamecube by inkstar

• Splatoon – Any% Race on Wii U by DG and LonTr0
• Once Upon A Katamari – Any% on PC by Game1t
• Silent Hill ƒ – New Game Story on PC by Captain Ezekiel
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – Any% Expert Glitchless Race on PC by Bdud5 and Z3RO1337
• Hades II – All Weapons (Alternating Routes) on PC by BehemothSteve
• Pokemon Emerald – Pick-My-Main on GBA by adef

But a full week packs in way more than that. There’s also Spyro 2, Splatoon, Split Fiction, Luigi’s Mansion, Sonic Adventure, Crash 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, A Hat In Time, Metroid Prime 3, the MGS3 remake, Psychonauts 2, F-Zero GX, Donkey Kong 64 Randomizer, Twilight Princess, Stellar Blade, Final Fantasy X, Ocarina of Time AND Majora’s Mask blindfolded at once, several mystery games, and the infamous Awful Block, leading with the Land Before Time game. Over 100 speedruns this year!

Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 will run from January 4-10 at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown in Pittsburgh, PA, and broadcast live on the official Games Done Quick Twitch channel.
