Games Done Quick is back to help kick off another exciting new year. This year's edition of Awesome Games Done Quick brings the world's top speedrunners together to take viewers 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 two days, the runners have raised over $330,000. 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 2. It takes two to slide across Hyrule.
You can watch all of the action in the embed below!
Here's the full schedule for Day 3, taken from the Games Done Quick website, along with a handful of runs to check out. Times are subject to change depending on the actual completed runtimes, as well as other scheduling circumstances:

Unicorn Overlord was one of Shacknews' favorite games last year. This overlooked gem is making its GDQ debut as Kuro looks to run through this strategy game in just 24 minutes.
In a year full of remakes and remasters, Dead Rising was among last year's best and also among the most overlooked. Capcom's undead action remake is making its GDQ debut showing off its various changes, as well as some of the glitches that make it a GDQ darling.
Silent Hill 2 was one of the most critically acclaimed remakes of 2024, so it only makes sense that it headline this year's horror block. CaptainEzekiel will walk everyone through this gem as part of its GDQ debut.
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.
