One of the best speedrun events in gaming kicks off today, as Summer Games Done Quick 2022 runs from Sunday, June 26th to Sunday, July 3rd. If you’re not familiar, this is the summer version of superb charity organization GDQ’s big bash, where dozens of the best and most entertaining speedrunners go hard for a good cause.

Where can you watch SGDQ? Right on theGames Done Quick Twitch channel.

This year’s SGDQ schedule—which you can find in full here—has as many standout PC entries as you might expect. Here on the first day there’s already a Mass Effect run, for example. Proceeds from donations to SGDQ go toDoctors Without Borders, an important resource for people around the world in a time of continued active warfare.
