Games Done Quick has wrapped up its 2025 events<\/a>, but a new year of speedrunning for charity is on the horizon. The organization released the schedule for Back to Black 2026 on Tuesday. You can watch the action from February 5 to 8.<\/p>\n

As its name suggests, the event celebrates the Black community through the joy of gaming. Organized by Black in a Flash, the event will showcase all-Black speed runs of titles ranging from popular to obscure.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of fun runs on the schedule<\/a>. Someone will take on Hades II, one of the best games of 2025<\/a>. Then there’s Cuphead, an excruciatingly difficult title even when you have all the time in the world. The schedule has some retro games, like Donkey Kong Country, Street Fighter 2 and Sonic Heroes. You’ll also find some little-known ones, like the 1996 Sega Saturn weirdfest, Mr. Bones.<\/p>\n

This year’s shindig will support Race Forward<\/a>, a nonprofit working toward racial equity. Last year’s Back to Black event raised $44,000 for the same charity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Games Done Quick has wrapped up its 2025 events, but a new year of speedrunning for charity is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[110667,110668,18,19,17,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-199996","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-back-to-black","9":"tag-black-community","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115612354110854542","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
