Summer is here, bringing with it the much-anticipated Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) for 2024. This annual speedrunning marathon for charity is set to start on Sunday and run until July 6th. Speedrunning enthusiasts and gamers alike are in for a treat with a lineup of runs for some of the most beloved games in the community.
The Lineup
This year’s SGDQ lineup is nothing short of impressive, featuring runs for games like Balatro, Alan Wake 2, Elden Ring, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1, 2, 3, and 4 (all in one run), a glitchless Baldur’s Gate 3 Honour Mode run, and even a shipless Outer Wilds run. However, the most anticipated run for many is the live speedrun featuring Peanut Butter, the shiba inu who wowed audiences with a remote run of the NES game Gyromite at Awesome Games Done Quick. Now, at SGDQ, Peanut Butter will be live at the event playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the Super NES, aiming to win a game in just 30 minutes. The excitement is palpable for this unique and entertaining run scheduled for July 4th at 8:43PM ET.
Where to Watch
For those eager to catch all the speedrunning action, the entire event will be livestreamed on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel. Additionally, runs are typically posted on the organization’s YouTube channel after they occur. SGDQ will be broadcasted from Minneapolis, and viewers can tune in to support a good cause, as the event is raising funds for Doctors Without Borders.
Summer Games Done Quick 2024 promises to be a thrilling event filled with incredible speedruns, beloved games, and heartwarming moments.
