Awesome Games Done Quick has begun.

When is Awesome Games Done Quick 2023?

This year, the marathon began on Jan. 8 and will run through Saturday, Jan. 14. There will then be a finale stream late on Sunday, Jan. 15. This means almost an entire week’s worth of speedrunning challenges to check out.

Where to watch Awesome Games Done Quick

You can watch the stream on Awesome Games Done Quick’s official website and Twitch channel.

GDQ 2023 was originally going to be an in-person convention in Florida but organizers decided to go back to a virtual format due to the ongoing dangers of COVID-19 and the “increased aggression towards LGBTQ+ individuals” in the state.

“We do not believe it is a safe place for our community at this time,” organizers said.

If you miss out on the livestream this year, check out the YouTube channel to watch completed runs.

Games Done Quick 2023 schedule

There are tons of speedruns to check out throughout the next week of livestreams. This includes classic games like Donkey Kong and Sonic as well as new games like Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 3. From Pokémon to shooters to skateboard classics, you can find just about every type of game.
