How to Watch Summer Games Done Quick 2025

Grab your grills, hot dogs, and sparklers — it's time to celebrate! Summer Games Done Quick 2025 is the annual charity marathon for speedrunning games that supports the organization "Doctors Without Borders." The event will take place from July 6 to July 12.

The marathon will kick off on Sunday, July 6, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time on Twitch. The Games Done Quick YouTube channel typically posts recordings of the competitions a few hours after the live streams end, so don't worry if you miss them live.

Exciting runs take place daily during prime time, so we recommend checking the schedule. It's also worth noting the less busy hours, as that's when interesting hidden gems appear, such as the run by LRock617 in Batman Forever: The Arcade Game at AGDQ 2025.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Blue Prince race scheduled for the evening of Monday, July 7, the Titanfall 2 race on Wednesday, July 9, and the Balatro run on Friday, July 11. The finale on Saturday will feature bonus runs of Mario Kart World Knockout and Deltarune, chapters 1 and 2. If enough donations are raised, additional runs of Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 will be unlocked.

Overall, Summer Games Done Quick reminds us that despite all the challenges, video games, their creators, and the community remain incredibly important and fascinating. It's not just a charity event, but also a wonderful opportunity to feel the unity and love for games in all their glory.
