As the temperature rises and the sun shines brightly, it is a signal that it’s time for speedruns and gaming enthusiasts to gather for the annual Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) marathon. This year’s event is scheduled to run from Sunday until July 6th, featuring an exciting lineup of runs for some popular games for charity.
One of the most anticipated runs at SGDQ 2024 is the live speedrun featuring Peanut Butter, the talented shiba inu who previously showcased his skills with a remote run of the NES game Gyromite at Awesome Games Done Quick. This year, Peanut Butter will be live at the event playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the Super NES, with the goal of winning a game in just 30 minutes. The run is set for July 4th at 8:43PM ET, promising an exciting and entertaining experience for viewers.
The SGDQ 2024 lineup includes runs for games such as 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 a shipless Outer Wilds run. The event kicks off with Yoshi’s Story today at 1PM ET, with the entire event available for streaming on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel. Additionally, runs are typically posted on the Games Done Quick YouTube channel after they occur. The event, streamed live from Minneapolis, aims to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders, making it not only a fun gaming experience but also a charitable one.
Summer Games Done Quick 2024 promises to be an exciting and charitable event for speedrunning enthusiasts and gamers alike. With a diverse lineup of runs, including the highly anticipated live run by Peanut Butter, viewers can look forward to a week filled with entertainment, skillful gameplay, and the joy of supporting a good cause.
