Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has revealed in an X post on December 18, 2024, that the copyright claim on the first episode of Beast Games has been waived. This means content creators are free to co-stream the episode, which is slated to come out on December 19, 2024.

In a post on X, MrBeast expanded on Twitch's announcement about making the first episode of Beast Games watchable on the Amazon-owned streaming platform for free:

"If you’re a streamer/youtuber I want to see your reaction to my new show tomorrow!! I convinced Prime Video to let you guys react to episode 1 on stream and make reaction videos on it :D"

For those wondering, this does not restrict content creators to only Twitch and YouTube. MrBeast has clarified in a subsequent post that as long as streamers don't directly re-upload the episode, the copyright will be waived by Prime Video for all websites:

"I removed all copyright for episode 1 reacting for all platforms! (Obviously you can’t just straight reupload it with no reaction haha). This only applies to episode 1."

When does Beast Games episode 1 drop? MrBeast talks about his plans to donate $10K among co-streamers during the premiere

MrBeast has announced on X that Beast Games' first episode will premiere at exactly noon EST or 9 am PST on December 19, 2024. This is the same time that the YouTuber will collaborate with Jynxzi on Twitch.

For the unaware, Twitch has introduced a new category for Beast Games. A couple of days ago, it was announced that content creators would be able to co-stream the show's first episode between 12 pm and 3:30 pm PST on the day of the premiere.

To encourage them, MrBeast and Jyxnzi will collaborate on Twitch during this period and hold giveaways among random channels co-streaming Beast Games on the platform. This also means that any stranger has the potential to interact with the two internet personalities during the event.

MrBeast confirmed on X that the giveaway would be worth $10,000:

"Tomorrow on Twitch I’m also going to be donating $10,000 to tons of random people reacting to Beast Games ;)"

For those wondering, Beast Games season 1 will run for 10 episodes, with the finale scheduled for February 13, 2025.
