Awesome Games Done Quick just over halfway over. Only three days remain for this year's marathon. This year's edition of AGDQ brings the world's top speedrunners together to run through some of the biggest games of the past and present. They'll be doing it as quickly as possible. Just like 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 four days, the runners have raised over $750,000. 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 4. Play me off, Wes!

We love celebrating Nightdive Studios, the developer that has done tireless work remastering the best and most underappreciated games of yesteryear. Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is making its Games Done Quick debut, so start your morning by watching this polished run of an old PC classic.
One of the best Zelda games in series history is on display again, but in a more thorough fashion this time. Jump into the Depths of Tears of the Kingdom with this All Dungeons run that takes Link across Hyrule, through its skies, and underneath its surface. It's a long three-hour journey, but as long as this run is, it's nothing compared to...
This technically bleeds into Friday's schedule, as the latest entry in Cloud's saga is a long one. Watch Woadyb run through Junon, Costa del Sol, Gongaga, and all of the surrounding regions in search of Sephiroth. This isn't a short run, so brew some coffee for this one.
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.
