YouTube sensation MrBeast has once again broken barriers, this time with his new Amazon Prime Video series, Beast Games. The reality TV show has skyrocketed to the number one spot in over 50 countries, cementing MrBeast’s influence beyond the digital realm.
Known for his high-budget, adrenaline-pumping YouTube videos like his viral Squid Game recreation and other jaw-dropping stunts, MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) has achieved unparalleled success on the streaming platform. His latest venture, Beast Games, sets a new standard in the reality TV genre with record-breaking feats, including the largest cash prize in such a series.

“Almost half the countries on Earth” have embr aced the show, according to MrBeast’s post, a testament to its universal appeal.
In the show, 1,000 contestants battle through a series of thrilling challenges to claim the ultimate $5 million cash prize. The production reportedly cost a staggering $100 million, including a $14 million investment to create “Beast City” in Toronto, where the series was filmed.
Criticism and MrBeast’s Response
Despite the show’s widespread acclaim, not everyone has been impressed. Popular gaming and entertainment outlet IGN recently rated Beast Games a mere 2 out of 10, calling it a “dull” and unengaging reality series.
This harsh critique drew attention online, with fans and MrBeast himself defending the show. When an X user speculated that IGN’s low score was either a publicity stunt or a biased review, MrBeast shared his disappointment.
“Sad one person who doesn’t like me can label something a thousand people poured their lives into a 2/10 when it’s clearly not,” he replied, adding that the series improves significantly as episodes progress and audiences grow familiar with the contestants.
Yeah, sad one person who doesn’t like me can just label something a thousand people poured their lives into a 2/10 when it’s clearly not. The show as future episodes drop is phenomenal especially once we get the number of contestants down and you get to know them!

With only two episodes released, the excitement for Beast Games is far from over. As more episodes drop in the coming weeks, fans eagerly await the unraveling challenges and eliminations. MrBeast’s ambitious project continues to redefine what’s possible in entertainment, bridging the gap between YouTube and mainstream media.
For those hooked on the series, don’t miss updates on eliminations, rule breakdowns, and exclusive insights into the making of Beast Games. This is just the beginning for MrBeast’s groundbreaking show.
