Awesome Games Done Quick is already finished for 2025 (with a cool collected for the Prevent Cancer Foundation), but the philanthropic group offers other programs throughout the year that raise money for good causes. Two of them are hosted by Frame Fatales, a community of speedrunning women and girls under the umbrella of GDQ. The group’s Frost Fatales event will take place March 9-16 and will raise funds for the . THE just released today and here are some of the highlights.
The event begins with two of my favorite games to watch: the punishing 2D platformer. Cutting head followed by wahoos Super Mario Odyssey. I’m also amused that Lanaruse showed up Coffee caravanbut with the category “Any% No Coffee”. This kicks off the show on March 13 at 1 p.m. ET. The March 14 lineup promises to be particularly exciting, with Jaypeg tackling Snufkin: Melody of Moomin ValleyGretaIceVixen and Corvimae show off Pokémon Sword and Shieldand Bloupeuh playing Yellow Undertale. Frost Fatales should end with SawaYoshi tackling a series of Celestialwhich feels like required viewing.
And if you can’t wait until March to see some great player philanthropy, then be sure to tune in during Back to Black, GDQ’s event spotlighting Black speedrunners. This year, the showcase will raise funds for a racial justice nonprofit, February 6-9.
It only lasts a few days, but Back to Black has plenty of talent in its lineup.

Super Smash Bros. pro-turned-speedrunner Ryan Ford is on the show twice, with The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX on February 8 at 4:05 p.m. ET and Super Metroid on February 9 at 8:04 p.m. ET.
