Summer Games Done Quick 2025 Raised Over $2 Million in a Week

Summer Games Done Quick 2025 concluded on midnight, July 13, after a week of 24-hour speedrunning for charity. SGDQ 2025 raised over $2.4 million for Doctors Without Borders during the event, which was held at Hilton Minneapolis in Minnesota. Some highlights included the unexpectedly magnetic Blue Prince speedrun, and the Deltarune run that capped off the event. Other games speedran included Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Balatro, Super Mario Maker 2, Blue Prince, Mario Kart World, Beat Saber, and many more. SGDQ 2025 was livestreamed on the GDQ Twitch channel.

Since the organization was founded in 2010, Games Done Quick has raised over $57 million for charity and created a safe and supportive space for trans and marginalized gamers to unite. This year’s SGDQ drew over 2,600 in-person attendees and also featured their first ever artist alley, with art and crafts for sale and game developers showing off their latest work. They host events year-round, including the annual Awesome Games Done Quick, which will be returning in January 2026 to Pittsburgh and raising funds for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. In the meantime, Games Done Quick’s next upcoming event is Flames Fatales, an all-women and femmes speedrunning showcase which will be hosted on Twitch the week of September 7. Following that will be the online event Games Done Queer, running on Halloween weekend.
