How to watch Awesome Games Done Quick 2026
It’s time for some more speedrunning (and other shenanigans) with the Games Done Quick (GDQ) team. The first event of the year, Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), kicks off on Sunday, January 4 with Super Mario Sun. Donations for this year’s party will benefit the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
AGDQ 2026 offers a full week of speedruns 24/7. You’ll see slots for some of the biggest games of 2025: Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight: Song of Silk And Hades II are part of the festivities. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater gets both a standard race and a “versus” matchup. There’s also plenty of classic Nintendo fare, including (among others) Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart World, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD And Super Mario 64.

If you like the weird, there’s plenty of that to chew on, too. The GDQ team likes to dust off forgotten “gems” for entertaining games. Who can forget 1996 Bill Nye: The Scientist – Stop the Rock! or the years 1994 The Adventures of Yogi Bear? And although it’s a 2022 game, ’80s kids can revisit the disgusting trading cards of their youth, by Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum.
AGDQ 2026 takes place from January 4 to 10. The live stream begins Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET on the official GDQ Twitch channel. You can browse the full program for more details.
