Mumbai, India – 3rd July 2026: After a long hiatus, the blockbuster gaming reality show Playground is finally gearing up for its much-awaited return on Amazon MX Player. The show that transformed aspiring gamers into household names is back with Season 5, and so is its most successful mentor. Having led his teams to back-to-back victories in Seasons 3 and 4, Elvish Yadav returns with his eyes firmly set on a hattrick, making him the mentor to beat as the next chapter of Playground begins.

True to form, he’s not doing it alone. In the newly released promo, the two-time champion mentor throws open entries for aspiring contestants who want to join his squad. His pitch is straightforward: head to the link in his bio, submit your details, and make your case for a place on his team. While contestants are free to back any mentor they choose, Elvish makes it clear where he believes the winning streak lies.

This season’s search goes beyond gaming skills alone. Elvish is looking for contestants who can perform under pressure, not only command attention on screen but bring the mindset of a true competitor too. With only one contestant ultimately emerging as the winner, the stakes have never been higher.

Applications are open now. The only question left: who’s got what it takes to be Playground’s next asli mastermind? The gaming reality show will stream soon for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, JioTV, Airtel Xstream Play, Vi Movies & TV, and Watcho.
