Don’t miss out on your shot at earning one million dollars in Fortnite this weekend as part of MrBeast’s Extreme Survival Challenge.
Along with the new skins for MrBeast in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1, MrBeast and Epic Games are hosting the Extreme Survival Challenge in Fortnite.
With a meteoric rise, especially among younger viewers, it is no surprise that Fortnite and MrBeast are planning more than your average collaboration.
Known for flashy displays of showmanship, it’s only fitting MrBeast put up a massive cash prize to win in his collaboration with Fortnite.
What Is the Extreme Survival Challenge in Fortnite?
The Extreme Survival challenge is a limited-time timed game mode in Fortnite, where players collect coins while avoiding hazards and completing challenges for one million dollars (USD).
After the challenge closes, whoever earned the highest “Score” in a single Extreme Survival Challenge match will claim the cash prize.
Your “Score” is determined by how long you last per minigame and how many coins you collect.

- By the end of the challenge, those in the top 100,000 players earn the Beast Brella Umbrella.
- And the number one highest-scoring player will earn a whopping $1 million prize!
The challenge island, which is essentially a custom map made by users, was created by team Atlas Creative.
You can play the mode as many times as you want. However, at the end of the challenge, only your top result will count towards your placement.
Fortnite MrBeast Challenge Start & End Time
The island launches on December 13 for practice rounds, and the challenge begins and ends on December 17, running from 12 PM to 3 PM ET (5 PM to 8 PM GMT).
