Today, Fortnite confirmed a partnership with the creator, giver, and entrepreneur MrBeast – aka the world’s most-subscribed individual user on YouTube.
Players can compete in MrBeast’s Extreme Survival Challenge on December 17th, 2022 – the player with the highest Score at the end of the challenge will be declared the winner — which means they will earn a prize of one million dollars (USD).
Eligible players will avoid hazards, collect coins, and survive extreme challenges to earn as much “Score” as they can in a given time period – the total Score of players’ best five matches (you can play as many matches as you want) will determine their results, with the top global winner taking home $1 million.
The tournament is Saturday, December 17th, 12th – 3 pm ET. The island goes live on December 13th at 9 am ET, so players will have time to practice before the challenge starts on December 17th, 2022.
The island will be accessible from the Discover screen, as well as using the island code 7990-6907-8565. Fortnite is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, and PC. Alternatively, with Xbox Cloud Gaming or NVIDIA GeForce NOW, you can play Fortnite through cloud gaming on a multitude of devices (including Android phones, Android tablets, iPhones, iPads, and more).
MrBeast is also joining the Fortnite Icon Series, joining the likes of LeBron James and Naomi Osaka. Starting December 14th at 7 pm ET, players can check out the Fortnite Item Shop for MrBeast Outfits, accessories, and the Beast Blastin’ Emote.
