Beast Games Season 2 Part 1 ended on an almighty cliffhanger, with one player taking a $1 million bribe. If you’re itching to see Episode 4, we’ve laid out all of the release date and time details so you know exactly when to tune in.
MrBeast pumped even more cash into the sophomore season of his Prime Video competition series, building an entire city he’s dubbed (you guessed it) “Beast City”, where the competitors live and take part in huge challenges.
There are some changes to the format this time round. Firstly, there are 200 players split into two: 100 strong vs 100 smart. But we’re also shown more of the competitors’ interactions in Season 2, including a romance blossoming between Players 152 and 173.
In the first three episodes, the 200 count was whittled down to just 25, and right at the end, the Captain Bribe made a reappearance. We’ll have to wait for Episode 4 to find out who takes that $1 million prize.
Beast Games Season 2 Episode 4 drops on Prime Video on January 14, 2026, at 12am PT / 3am ET.
We’ve listed several other time zones so you know exactly when to tune in:
- 5am Brazil
- 8am UK
- 9am Central European Time
- 1:30pm India Standard Time
- 5pm Japan
- 7pm Australia
- 9pm New Zealand
This is pretty standard for Prime Video shows, although sometimes it breaks the pattern depending on the series. In case there was any doubt, MrBeast was on hand to reveal the global release times on Instagram.
How many episodes are there?
Even though the player count jumped from 200 to 25 in just three episodes, Beast Games Season 2 has 10 episodes in total, meaning you can expect plenty more challenges to come.

Full release schedule
Following its three-episode premiere, Beast Games Season 2 is switching to weekly single episode drops. Here’s the full upcoming release schedule:
- Episode 4 – January 14
- Episode 5 – January 21
- Episode 6 – January 28
- Episode 7 – February 4
- Episode 8 – February 11

Even though the finale wraps up in February, it’s far from the end of Beast Games. Not only has Prime Video green-lit a third season, but MrBeast hopes the series will continue far into the future, previously telling Deadline that “another 10 seasons could happen.”
What happened in Episode 3?
Beast Games Season 2 Episode 3 ended with MrBeast announcing that someone took the $1 million bribe – but we’ll have to wait for Episode 4 to find out who.
The first three episodes saw the 200 players take part in a series of games and challenges, with the third – a huge obstacle course – seeing this number drop to just 25 finalists.
Then came the twist: the Captain Bribe. Similarly to Season 1, MrBeast announces that the teams must each select a captain to represent them.
The five captains stand in front of a button while a huge screen shows a figure of cash, which steadily rises. At any point, the captain can press their button and will instantly win all of the money for themselves.
If they take the bribe, they’re not eliminated – but their teammates are. Initially, no one pushes the button, and the prize pot climbs all the way to $1 million.
Right at the end, MrBeast announces, “Someone took the prize!” But the episode ends there.
As said, next week’s episode also looks set to be the Survivor crossover – a hybrid of Beast Games’ classic challenges alongside Survivor’s format, with host Jeff Probst even making an appearance.
