“Get Ready for a Thrilling Week of Charity Speedrunning in the Latest Flash Tournament!”

Frost Fatales – the winter edition of Video games Played Instantly’s all-female and femme charity speedrunning event – makes its return this weekend for an additional week of swift gaming accomplishments.

More precisely, 2025’s Frost Fatales begins this Sunday, March Ninth, at 4:30pm. Expect approximately 30 minutes of introductions, and then – when the clock hits 5pm – the speedruns commence with an Any% No Major Glitches run of Cuphead by Vicky_spleen.

After a week filled with more than 60 speedruns, this year’s Frost Fatales will conclude at 3:25am with SawaYoshi’s Any% One-Handed run of Celeste. In the meantime, you can anticipate an unusually diverse array of quickly executed entertainments, covering everything from major AAA titles and celebrated indie games to more unconventional selections.

You could find your Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix HD alongside Punch-Out!!, UFO 50’s Barbuta, and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Meanwhile, the vibrant Princess Peach: Showtime prepares to share the stage with games like Amnesia: The Bunker, Clock Tower 3, Crow Country, Yard Baseball ’97, Hylics, and more – as outlined in this year’s schedule.

And if that seems like the perfect way to wrap up the last days of winter, speedrun enthusiasts can tune in
