With 335 million subscribers, MrBeast is the most popular YouTuber. In an interview with fellow YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, he stated that the show cost more than $100 million and smashed 40 world records.

It premieres on Amazon Prime and is billed as "the world's largest live game show" with the "biggest single prize in the history of television and streaming" at $5 million.

When asked how he intended to recoup the money he spent on the game show, MrBeast replied, "The goal is to create the best content possible, not to make money."

"Beast Games" is described as "the most insane competition"

In the show's trailer, "Beast Games" was described as "the most insane competition show you've ever seen," with 1,000 players competing for a $5 million grand prize on a giant pirate ship complete with monster trucks, Navy SEALs, and daring exploits.

According to claims, the "city" was erected in Toronto. MrBeast's representative stated that the things utilized during the games, such as mattresses, sleeping bags, and clothing, were donated to local charities.

Candidates complain of issues during filming

However, the program's coverage has not been without controversy. According to The New York Times, some candidates stated that they were not given enough food and had to wait hours, if not days, for their prescription or sanitary supplies.

They also alleged that several of them were injured during the challenges and required medical attention. Five of the participants intend to bring a class-action lawsuit against the YouTuber.

MrBeast has not commented on the allegations, citing legal processes, but has described some of them as "disinformation."
