What is speedrunning?

Speedrunning is like throwing a gaming gauntlet into a digital arena and challenging the world to a lightning-fast duel. Imagine you’re in a race against time, but instead of a track, you’re navigating through virtual landscapes, dodging obstacles, and exploiting every glitch and trick in the game’s code to blitz past the finish line.

But it’s not just about beating the game quickly; it’s about rewriting the rulebook, discovering new shortcuts, and setting records that defy logic and expectation. It’s a community-driven quest for mastery, where players share knowledge, trade techniques, and celebrate the art of gaming at its most exhilarating.

In the world of speedrunning, every second counts, and every run is a heart-pounding adventure where the only limit is your imagination. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a digital daredevil, strap in and join the ranks of those who dare to defy the clock and conquer the virtual realm at warp speed!

The best part?! Speedrunning is 100% a spectator sport! And you can watch it live across the weekend at Generation Games! 

Check out the speedrunning schedule below!
