A collaboration of a rather special kind has arrived on the famous game, with a monstrous prize at stake. Here are all the details.
The game Fortnite has greatly exceeded its status as simple free to play for years. From now on, it is almost a media in its own right, regularly integrating external projects, such as virtual concerts or collaborations with cult licenses, such as Dragon Ball or Naruto. The new collaboration with MrBeast, one of the biggest stars on the web, will allow you to win cosmetic gifts but above all a monstrous cash prize which will be reserved for the best player of this event.
A million reasons to play
MrBeast’s island is available since yesterday, allowing competitors to practice before the start of the serious things, on December 17th. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., a special extreme survival challenge will be deployed, and everyone’s best score will be taken as a reference to establish the final ranking. To participate, you must first have activated the A2F authentication system, verified your Epic account and have an account level 15 or higher. So many essential security points, given the enormous stake for the big winner: the crazy sum of 1,000,000 dollars.
A real stage beast
To be able to offer such a reward, it was necessary to rely on a guest of unparalleled notoriety. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has been making videos since he was young. When he started in 2012, when he was 13 years old, he mainly focused on video games and commented on the lives of other youtubers. The first video marking a turning point in his career in 2017 had panicked his number of views, and had quickly gone viral. It allowed him to broaden the content offered and to become a businessman and philanthropist, with numerous charitable actions. With more than 196 million subscribers on his various channels and 30 billion views for his videos, he is one of the absolute heavyweights of the media to date.
