History

In Germany between 2006 and 2014, a television show about video games with the same name aired on MTV Germany. [3] [4] After the show was cancelled, the guys from Game One launched an online TV channel with the name Rocket Beans TV on Twitch and YouTube. [5]

Since 2016, they moderate the web show Game Two with the support of FUNK, an online service of the German television channels Das Erste and ZDF. [6]

Shutdown

On 8 October 2025, a report revealed the closure of the channel from late November, as part of a plan from Paramount Skydance Corporation that would affect more than 50% of its television workforce in France. The channel was still profitable, with net gains of €2 million per year. Its staff was surprised by the decision. [7]

However, the channel, along with J-One, could return as early as March 2026 with a new shareholder, and Paramount Network France is reportedly currently in negotiations to sell the channels.
