Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
Every once in a while, you may get lucky and get a "personal quest" at the top of your feed. Complete it for bonus xp, or simply dismiss it if you are not interested.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.

Two max, usually less than that. I'm usually lucky to be able to buy any. There are so many games out there, and so many I would love to get my hands on: Diablo IV (I'll have that next week, because a...more
This really varies, depending on bundles, sales, finances, and all that. I'm definitely a sucker for a really good Steam sale or Humble Bundle, regardless of how big my backlog is.
8 is likely a ve...more
Rough guess. I pick up a lot of games on Steam during the sales, plus the occasional used console game.
If I add tabletop stuff, it's likely closer to 35.
I already have a sizeable backlog, so I don't feel the need to buy a lot of games (plus any Switch game I'd want to play, I can probably borrow from @mariomaestro). And I tend to wait for a good deal ...more
Sad but true! Free is me! And there are three reasons why I don't have time to buy/play more games... BUT those three reasons are finally getting old enough to play video games with them. My average m...more
With a few exceptions most are indies or massive discounts. I leave my watch list very active on both PS and Switch waiting for those deep discounts if anything. Only Nintendo 1st party probably gets ...more
This is a normal avg but either c3 I'm already at 3 games and we aren't halfway through the year... and dumb FN with those skins doesmy help *checks wallet*... well figure it out
Going off the games I have bought in the last 3 years, it is probably closer to 30 games a year. I just started collecting all old consoles and stuff 3 years ago so that is why it is this high. Garage...more
The more I think about this question, the more I realize I buy a lot of games lol. Already bought Tape to Tape and Diablo 4. I bought a few games for the kids. And I’ll be for sure buying games l...more
I'm gonna say 3. Just an average over the past several years. Tho I expect with Channel 3, the number is going to be going up dramatically. I imagine I will work my way through 1 story-driven bought g...more
I typically pick up a couple on-sale Switch and Steam games each year, then will get a game or two for birthday/Christmas. The number is going up thanks to the Cr3w (and some impulse purchases before ...more
Last year I actually bought a few more than three but I don’t really count some of these off brand Switch games that cost $2. I just don’t have time and I go to Gamepass a lot.
2022 Real Purch...more
Depends on how many new games I like but ten seems like a safe number. This isn't including whatever epic and prime gaming hands out as their free games each month.
Without @channel3, it would be 3-4. Games bought like 25 last year (prob more), and games played prob 6. The backlog is just getting angrier with me every day.
