Games Done Quick, the charity video game speedrunning series, is making its European debut in a live event at Germany\u2019s Gamescom this summer.<\/p>\n

GDQ\u2019s marathon event will run for the duration of the three-day show in Cologne, starting August 28-30, and will feature popular runners and an on-site live audience. The event will be broadcast on Twitch and YouTube, with programming kicking off at 4am ET (one for all you early risers) daily and running until 2pm.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re thrilled to expand Games Done Quick globally and to bring a live event to gamescom in Germany, an opportunity that\u2019s incredibly meaningful to our team,” said Ashley Farkas, Games Done Quick\u2019s Owner and Business Director. “This partnership not only supports an amazing initiative, but also creates space for more runners to participate, especially those who haven\u2019t previously had the opportunity to travel to the US.”<\/p>\n

Games Done Quick was established in 2010 and has since raised more than $60 million for charities worldwide. Its first of this year took place back in January, and featured live speedruns of Super Mario Sunshine<\/em>, <\/em>\u00a0<\/em>and <\/em>, to name a few.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
