2:16PM – Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Approximately six months ago, Indiana Jones made his debut on Xbox and PC platforms (with PS5 joining the fray a few weeks back), and now it’s time for his quest to discover the Great Circle to take center stage in speedrunning competitions. BloodThunder aims to complete this game in less than 90 minutes in an upcoming run that is sure to become a timeless piece of gaming history.

4:20PM – Avowed

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve always looked forward to Obsidian Entertainment’s epic RPGs gracing GDQ events throughout the years. Now, it’s finally time for Avowed to make its grand entrance, less than half a year after its initial release in February. With countless character classes and endless possibilities in dialogue branches, I can’t wait to witness this game being wrapped up within an hour. What a fascinating challenge that promises to be!

5:28PM – Beat Saber

On the opening day of Game Day Quarterly (GDQ), Kungfufruitcup typically doesn’t start the rhythmic segments until later in the week. However, this year she’s offering everyone an early treat by playing Beat Saber! With years of experience under her belt, she’s excited to put on a spectacular Expert+ performance for the crowd. So, join us on the dance floor and let the rhythm sweep over you!

The upcoming Summer Games Done Quick 2025 is scheduled to run from today until Saturday, July 12th. For additional details, visit the official Games Done Quick website, and don’t forget to check back here at Shacknews throughout the week for updates on this week-long marathon event.
