Game One was a French television channel owned by Paramount Networks EMEAA.[1][2] The channel showed several programs based on video games. It also aired Japanese anime on a regular basis.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

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, Game One launched an online television channel, named Rocket Beans TV, on Twitch and YouTube.[5]

Since 2016, they present the web show Game Two, with the support of funk, which is the online service of the German television channels Das Erste and ZDF.[6]

Shutdown

[edit]

On 8 October 2025, a report revealed the closure of the channel from late November, as part of a plan from Paramount Skydance 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 was reportedly in negotiations to sell the channels.[citation needed]
