The annual charity speed-running event known as Summer Games Done Quick starts today (June 4).
Players from across the world will stream speed-runs of video games over the internet while raising money for charity. In previous years, the event has taken place in a physical venue with attendee numbers in the tens of thousands.
Summer Games Done Quick 2021 will take place completely online this year, because of the ongoing COVID pandemic. Speedrunners will stream the event from the comfort of their homes to viewers on Twitch and YouTube.
This yearâs event will raise money for Doctors Without Borders, which provides medical assistance to those dealing with conflict, epidemics, disasters, and those without access to healthcare.

Runs to watch out for
Each SGDQ event features a number of specific runs to watch out for, this year is no different. Most games typically require speedrunners to reach the end state, with some differences between percentages complete.
There are runs which add unusual modifiers, increasing both the difficulty for the player and the tension for those watching. Speedrunner Bubzia will attempt a blindfolded 70 star run of Super Mario 64, which is as ridiculous as it sounds. Bubziaâs previous run at Autumn Games Done Quickly 2021 can be seen below.
Other notable runs include frozenflygoneâs Celeste custom maps run, thestrangepieâs 100 per cent Outer Wilds run and Link: The Faces Of Evil run which sees Grumpmeister taking on the notorious Zelda CDI game.
Elsewhere, a new PUBG cinematic teaser for the Tageo update features Train To Busan actor Don Lee.
The actor also starred in a live-action PUBG short titled Ground Zero, which introduced the story for the Tageo update.
