Due to COVID-19, a lot of in-person events have been cancelled this year, with many organizers putting virtual experiences together for fans to enjoy while they are stuck at home. That said, it appears Summer Games Done Quick 2020 will be following suit as they have cancelled the in-person portion of their speedrunning event and will now hold it entirely online.

Taking to their Twitter account, Games Done Quick announced Summer Games Done Quick 2020 Online, the upcoming entirely online event that will replace the in-person version that usually takes place. “Summer Games Done Quick 2020 Online will not feature a live event in Minnesota,” reads the GDQ website. “Instead, we will move the event to online-only, broadcasting the event from our studio with participants performing speedruns from the safety of their homes.”

In light of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the on-site portion of #SGDQ2020 and instead proceed with an online-only event, Summer Games Done Quick 2020 Online.
