The second day of Awesome Games Done Quick is underway with more than $130,000 raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

2

It's the start of another new year and that means it's time for the return of Awesome Games Done Quick. This year, GDQ is here to christen the first full week of 2025. Watch as the world's top speedrunners come together to blaze through some of the biggest games of the past and present as quickly as possible. As they do every year, they'll be doing it for charity in front of a worldwide audience on Twitch.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 has returned to Pittsburgh, PA. Many of this year's runners are on-hand for live runs, though a few are checking in virtually from their home spaces. This year's event is raising money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. After one day, the runners have raised over $130,000. Shacknews will be watching all week and we'll make sure to bring you the daily schedule each day. Plus, we'll be sure to highlight the biggest runs worth watching.

Before we get to the schedule, let's look at a highlight from Day 1. It's just a minor malfunction aboard the Astro Bot ship.

You can watch all of the action in the embed below!

This one's a little different than the standard GDQ run. A handful of runners are coming together to show off the best of UFO 50, last year's breakout collection of retro-styled games. Enjoy the tour and expect to see more of UFO 50 down the road at Games Done Quick.

The classic Wii version of Metroid Prime is on display this year. This two-person race should get people excited for more Metroid action later in the week.

This is the first big bonus game incentive of the week and it's a good one. Breath of the Wild is a special game on its own, but imagine two players having to come together to manage it on a single controller. Watch as Player5 and mikeysgone coordinate to beat this Switch adventure in just 33 minutes.


Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 will take place from now through Saturday, January 11. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website and be sure to come back all week to Shacknews for more on this week's marathon.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
