Amidst huge controversy and a class action lawsuit, MrBeast has revealed that Beast Games has broken about 40 or more World Records. The YouTuber shed light on this while appearing on the Impaulsive podcast with his fellow Lunchly business partners Logan Paul and KSI.
Earlier, MrBeast and the production team were accused by several Beast Games contestants of creating an unsafe working environment. Many participants alleged not getting adequate compensation and nourishment, alongside other complaints in a class action lawsuit.
Despite this, when the YouTuber appeared as a guest on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast on October 2, 2024, the host asked him about the world records broken by the Beast Games:
"Y'all broke how many Guinness World Records shooting it?"
MrBeast was quite happy to reveal that during the shoot, 40 or more records had been broken by the game show that doesn't even have a release date yet:
"We broke over 40 World Records while filming Beast Games, my Amazon show dropping later this year."

While the online debate surrounding MrBeast and Beast Games rages on, the YouTuber has refrained from publicly addressing the various complaints and accusations against the game show. Instead, on his appearance on Logan Paul's podcast, he claimed that the show had broken various world records.
The YouTuber listed some of the records the Beast Games production team apparently broke:
"Most contestants of any game show in history, largest cash prize of any game show in history, most cameras recording simultaneously of any production in history. Um, I can go on and on. I mean, if there's a world record for game shows, we broke it."
MrBeast also said that Beast Games was going to have 10 episodes, claiming that his YouTube videos pale in comparison. He continued to praise the show, adding that it would blow Logan Paul and KSI's minds:
"It is literally going to blow your mind. It is 10 episodes and every episode literally makes my YouTube videos look like child's play."
Later on in the podcast, the most-subscribed YouTuber also shared that he had given away over $20 million while filming the show and acknowledged that the grand prize for Beast Games was supposed to be $5 million. This is quite interesting, considering one of the major complaints in the lawsuit was problems regarding compensation.
