YOUTUBER MrBeast and battle royale Fortnite are teaming up for a new event where one person will win $1million (£800k).
MrBeast’s Extreme Survival Challenge will take place in Fortnite on December 17, 2022, and the player who has the highest score will take home the cash.
The Brella Umbrella.
Even if you aren’t the number one player, there are a number of in-game items you can earn just for taking part.
The challenge is live now, listed under the ‘Fortnite Competitive’ row in Discover, and you can try out the challenge as many times as you like.
You can also take part using island code 7990-6907-8565. However, only your best score achieved on December 17 will count for the prize.
The top 100k players will also all receive the Beast Brella Umbrella for their lockers.
MrBeast’s Extreme Survival Quests are also live from today and allow players to pick up a number of other MrBeast-themed items.
These include MrBeast Gaming Spray, and MrBeast Survival Games Loading Screen, both of which are available until January 4.
Finally, MrBeast-themed outfits, emotes, and accessories are now available to purchase in the shop.
In order to take part in the event, players must have two-factor authentication enabled on the verified Epic account that links to their Fortnite account.
Their account level has to be a minimum of 15 in order to take part to prevent bots from taking part.
There is also a list of countries and regions that are banned from taking part.
These are: Cuba, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and the regions of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk.
Further, people from Turkey and Russia are allowed to participate, but are ineligible to win the prize fund.
They can still win the Beast Umbrella, and take part in the quests.
Aside from these restrictions, local taxes will apply to the fund, meaning that a different amount of money will be received depending on the country the winner lives in.
The competition will run from 5pm to 8pm UK time, meaning there is only three hours in which you can earn a high score.
