Games Done Quick is a semi-annual charity marathon of videogame speedruns. In their 9-year history the organization has raised over $22.3 million for charity. This years event had to be transitioned to an online-only platform due to this impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a statement on their website, organizers share news about the decision, saying “As we prioritize the health and safety of everyone who attends GDQ events, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the on-site portion of Summer Games Done Quick 2020…” Despite this, the marathon is paced to have no shortage of content, with more than 50 games on the schedule. The events beneficiary is Doctors Without Borders, an organization that dispatches medical professionals and aid in areas that need it most. The complete lineup for the digital event has been released.
