As the summer season approaches, gamers and speedrunning enthusiasts are gearing up for the highly anticipated event known as Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) 2024. This annual speedrunning marathon for charity is set to begin on Sunday and will run until July 6th.
One of the most exciting aspects of SGDQ is its diverse lineup of speedruns. This year’s event features runs for popular games such as Balatro, Alan Wake 2, Elden Ring, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1, 2, 3, and 4 (all in one run), a glitchless Baldur’s Gate 3 Honour Mode run, and a shipless Outer Wilds run. However, the most anticipated run for many fans is the live speedrun by Peanut Butter, the talented shiba inu who previously wowed audiences with a remote run of the NES game Gyromite at Awesome Games Done Quick.
Unique Speedrun
Peanut Butter will be showcasing their skills once again at SGDQ, this time playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the Super NES. The goal for this run is to win a game in just 30 minutes, adding an extra layer of challenge and excitement for viewers. Scheduled for July 4th at 8:43PM ET, Peanut Butter’s run is sure to be a highlight of the event.
Streaming and Accessibility
For those unable to attend the event in person, SGDQ offers a convenient streaming option through the Games Done Quick Twitch channel. Additionally, runs are typically uploaded to the organization’s YouTube channel after they have taken place, allowing fans to catch up on any runs they may have missed. This accessibility ensures that the excitement of SGDQ can be enjoyed by a wide audience.
Beyond the thrills of speedrunning, SGDQ serves a greater purpose by raising money for Doctors Without Borders. This charitable aspect adds a meaningful dimension to the event, highlighting the generosity and camaraderie of the gaming community.
The upcoming Summer Games Done Quick 2024 promises to deliver an exhilarating showcase of skill, entertainment, and goodwill. With a diverse lineup of runs, a unique speedrun featuring Peanut Butter, and a focus on charitable fundraising, SGDQ is sure to captivate audiences and make a positive impact. So mark your calendars, tune in to the stream, and join in the excitement of this year’s event.
