The Games Done Quick organization has announced the schedule for Awesome Games Done Quick 2024, the charity speedrunning marathon's return as an in-person event, which will take place January 14-21.

The full schedule features over 100 different speed runs across multiple eras--from the NES days to recent releases like The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom--while also spanning multiple consoles and PC. The event will raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which the AGDQ marathon has contributed to since 2011.
