YouTube giant James “MrBeast” Donaldson revealed creators joining his latest massive collaboration—a $1 million competition featuring 50 of the biggest streamers across platforms. The reveal came during an IRL livestream with Jasontheween, on the heels of the Beast Games Season 2 premiere on Amazon Prime.
The announcement arrives alongside MrBeast dropping “30 Celebrities Fight For $1,000,000!” on YouTube alongside Kevin Hart. That star-studded competition featured celebrities including Paris Hilton, Howie Mandel, the Bella Twins, 5 Seconds of Summer, The Chainsmokers, Tiffany Haddish, and Matt Rife, with Steve-O ultimately winning and donating his prize to Doctors Without Borders. With back-to-back $1 Million events, Mr. Beast continues to bring together the streamer and celebrity worlds through his ambitious content expansion.
While specific challenge details remain under wraps, the 50-streamer competition will follow MrBeast’s signature format: grueling physical and mental tasks with regular eliminations until one winner remains. The victor will donate the entire $1 million prize to fans and subscribers rather than keeping it themselves—a trademark MrBeast twist that redirects wealth back to communities.

The event will stream on MrBeast’s YouTube channel, with participants likely co-streaming on their own platforms across Twitch, YouTube, and other services.
During the livestream with Jasontheween, MrBeast went through a rapid-fire confirmation of creators, revealing that some were still finalizing schedules. Kai Cenat was “getting back on time” but “definitely wants to come,” while Pokimane’s attendance depends on timing. The event will take place in North Carolina, which became relevant when discussing QTCinderella—she’s down to compete but hesitant due to her fear of flying. The strategic lineup blends streaming royalty with emerging niches, like Vtubing, and international appeal.

Perhaps the most intriguing logistics involve Ironmouse, who will participate via iPad. Jasontheween immediately questioned whether this constituted “cheating”, with MrBeast acknowledging “we’re figuring it out.” Jason noted she’d be “cooked” on physical challenges, raising questions about how the competition will accommodate her unique participation format. Either way, having a creator participating over telepresence will be intriguing to watch.
In another humorous twist, TheBurntPeanut will compete in a full peanut costume—not just a mask, but an entire outfit.
Adin Ross absent from Mr.Beast Streamer Event roster
The most notable absence is Adin Ross. His exclusion sparked immediate theories, given his recent $12 million charity collaboration with MrBeast for Team Water. The exact reason for the absence remains a reason, but Ross discussed on stream that he doesn’t think MrBeast liked him. He also mentioned that asking “where the water is going” on the Team Water stream might have rubbed MrBeast the wrong way.

Between the celebrity competition and this 50-streamer event, MrBeast is doubling down on massive collaborations that blend entertainment spectacle with charitable giving. The pattern reinforces his position as YouTube’s biggest creator while expanding his reach across traditional celebrity and digital creator spaces.
With over 35 streamers confirmed and more announcements pending, this competition represents one of the largest cross-platform creator collaborations ever assembled.
