MrBeast’s record-breaking game show is finally streaming, with fans able to watch for free on Prime Video. Beast Games is being touted as a ‘record-breaking competition series’ where contestants will face a series of ‘MrBeast-style challenges’ involving time-sensitive emotional decisions, pyrotechnics and big rewards.
The show’s official synopsis reads: “A staggering 1,000 players compete in nail-biting, physical, mental and social challenges for a chance to win a whopping $5 million cash prize. Week by week, players will use their strength and wit to stay in the game, with the hope of being the multi-million-dollar winner.”
The first two episodes of Beast Games are available to stream for free with an Amazon Prime subscription or by signing up for an Amazon Prime 30-day free trial. Prime usually costs £8.99 a month or £95 a year and comes with a host of benefits like next day delivery, Amazon Music Prime, Deliveroo Plus and free delivery on HelloFresh orders for a year, but members can try all this for 30 days without paying a penny.

Amazon also offers Prime Video without the added Prime benefits for £5.99 a month after a 30-day free trial. Prime members can also stream top titles like The Boys and The Rings of Power, plus the Premier League Boxing Day round of fixtures, absolutely free with a 30-day trial.
TV lovers can get 30 days' free access to binge tantalising TV like The Boys and The Rings of Power by signing up to Amazon Prime. Just remember to cancel at the end and you won't be charged.
Amazon claims the $5 million reward is the largest single prize in TV and streaming history. The 10-part series is the brainchild of Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, who runs the most-subscribed channel on YouTube.
As well as serving as co-creator, MrBeast takes on hosting duties alongside co-creators and executive producers Tyler Conklin, Sean Klitzner, and Mack Hopkins. Speaking to Amazon ahead of the show’s launch, MrBeast said: “My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms.
“Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.”
