Summer is upon us and that means it's time for a beloved tradition to continue. It's time for Summer Games Done Quick. This year's SGDQ during July 4th week and bring the world's top speedrunners together to run through some of the biggest games of the past and present. As is the case every year, they'll do it for charity in front of a worldwide audience on Twitch.
Summer Games Done Quick 2024 is coming to you from the Hilton Minneapolis Downtown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Most of this year's runners are on site for live runs, though a few will be checking in virtually for some remote runs. This year's event is raising money for Doctors Without Borders. Shacknews will be watching all week and we'll make sure to bring you the daily schedule each day. Plus, we're making sure to highlight the biggest runs worth watching.
You can watch all of the action in the embed below!

3:07PM - Splatoon 3: Side Order
The Splatoon 3 expansion was only released a few months ago, but it's already been optimized to a ridiculous level. Come watch TonesBalones finish it up in just 30 minutes. A lot of this run will be determined by the boss order RNG, so come see if the RNG gods are in the runner's favor.
6:04PM - Halo 2
Fresh off the voice of Master Chief's birthday, let's celebrate with a Legendary run of arguably the best game in the series. Watch Zoo try to finish it up in just 90 minutes.
7:49PM - Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft
The original Tomb Raider is just how everybody remembers it... mostly. Come watch this glitched run of the original game, fresh from the recent remastered collection.
Summer Games Done Quick 2024 will take place from now through Saturday, July 6. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website and be sure to come back all week to Shacknews for more on this week's marathon.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry co*ke?
