MrBeast’s Beast Games: Prime Video release date, prizes, more

YouTube superstar MrBeast will be releasing his first game show on Prime Video with an eye-popping prize up for grabs. Here’s everything you need to know about MrBeast’s ‘Beast Games.’

The YouTube star is no stranger to putting contestants up to extreme challenges to compete for a staggering cash prize. And now, MrBeast will be taking his challenges to the next level.

On March 18, months after rumors circulated that he was close to putting pen to paper on a deal with Amazon, MrBeast announced that he’d be filming “the largest game show in history” with Amazon Prime.

“Big news gamers: I’m going to be filming the largest game show in history and releasing it on Prime Video!” the YouTuber wrote.

According to MrBeast, his game show will feature over 1,000 contestants, who will battle it out for a staggering $5 million prize. “Over 1,000 contestants, $5,000,000 prize, and many other world records… I’ll reveal more later this year but let’s just say, it’s gonna be an insane show,” he said.

MrBeast’s Beast Games release date

Beast Games will debut on Amazon Prime on Thursday, December 19, 2024, according to a post on Instagram.

“I’m so excited to finally announce that Beast Games is coming to Prime Video on December 19th. I have spent the last year doing everything I can to make the greatest competition show imaginable. With a $5M cash prize, 1000 players, one winner, Beast Games is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in your life. You will not want to miss this… it’s insane,” MrBeast said.

Beast Games’ eye-popping prize

As revealed by MrBeast himself, the YouTuber’s Beast Games will have 1,000 contestants competing for the “largest prize in game show in history” — which even beats out Netflix’s mega-successful Squid Games: The Challenge.

According to the YouTube star, a $5,000,000 prize will be on the line. While much of the details have been kept tight-lipped, fans should expect “many World Records” to be broken.

For years, MrBeast has toyed with the idea of working with a streaming platform in some way or another, even claiming he could’ve helped Netflix “immensely” with the Squid Game reality TV show.

For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what MrBeast has up his sleeve for the show, with more details expected to be revealed later in 2024.
