Only one day remains. This is the last day for Awesome Games Done Quick 2025. This is the last day to watch the world's top speedrunners play 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 comes to you from 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. Going into this final day, the runners have raised over $1,300,000. Shacknews is here with today's schedule while also highlighting the biggest runs worth checking out.
Before we get to the schedule, let's look at a highlight from Day 6. Let's watch GDQ hit the $1 million milestone.

Elden Ring can be a really hard game, which makes the runners of GDQ that much more remarkable to witness. There's a DLC Lockout Bingo that will take players on a quick tour through Shadow of the Erdtree, which should be a lot of fun.
But, wait... there's a second Elden Ring run? And it's... a boss showcase played on saxophone? Ok, these people are just showing off now.
Games Done Quick has gradually entered a new era that features numerous "outside the box" exhibitions. Of all the weird stuff that's been on these marathons, there hasn't been anything quite like this. Not only is chuckles825 playing some Crazy Taxi, but the soundtrack is going to be provided live by Limiter Cut. This promises to be something special, so be sure to tune in.
It's the big closing Super Metroid run, but with a big twist. Randomizers have become a big part of the GDQ experience, so why not finally bring one to the big Super Metroid run? Andy, Oatsngoats, imyt, and Eddie are about to take part in a race unlike any other as they try and navigate the Super Metroid randomizer and look to find a different way to get to Mother Brain.
Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 concludes tonight. Be sure to return to Shacknews once it's all over for the final total. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website.
