The Games Done Quick organization has announced the schedule for Awesome Games Done Quick 2023 Online, its next major charity speedrunning marathon, which will run January 8-15.
The full schedule features 140 different speedruns across multiple eras–from the NES days to recent releases–while also spanning multiple consoles and PC. The event will once again raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which it has partnered with since 2011.
This year’s AGDQ will take place completely online as announced earlier this year, with the organization citing decisions made by the state of Florida, which hosts AGDQ, among the reasons for that decision. This will be the third straight AGDQ to take place completely online, with the 2021 campaign raising $2.7 million for Prevent Cancer and 2022 raising $3.4 million.
Summer Games Done Quick 2022–the most recent major GDQ marathon–returned to a live audience at the Doubletree Hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota. The event raised over $3 million for Doctors Without Borders, and it featured speedruns of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the original Mass Effect, and two separate runs of Elden Ring.
