Games Done Quick's Summer Games Done Quick 2026 schedule is now available, featuring another week of impressive speedrunning for charity. The event runs July 5-11 in Minneapolis, continuing the organization's tradition of raising millions for humanitarian causes. Last year's marathon generated over $2.4 million for Doctors Without Borders, establishing SGDQ as one of gaming's most successful charity events.

This year's lineup blends recent releases like Kirby Air Riders and Don't Stop Girlypop with classic titles including Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Donkey Kong Country 2. The schedule also features novelty runs such as Drywall Eating Simulator and the obscure 1996 Sega Saturn game Mr. Bones. These eclectic choices showcase the community's love for both technical mastery and absurd entertainment.

Technical showcases include an automated Super Mario 64 120-star collection and a hybrid run merging Half-Life 1 movement into Jak and Daxter. Viewers can watch the entire event live on Twitch and YouTube starting July 5. SGDQ 2026 demonstrates how speedrunning has evolved from niche hobby to mainstream entertainment while maintaining its charitable mission.
