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.
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.

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.

Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.

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.

Based on the wording “truly mobile system”, I’m going to say no.
I don’t think they had enough success in the past with handhelds to go down that route again.
However some type of hybrid sce...more
I think so. There’s a huge market in handhelds and Sony wants a bigger piece of the pie. The portal was a prototype, like a Wii U. They’ll make something untethered that’s super powerful in the ...more
I've said it before and I'll say it again: CHANNEL 3 IS THE FUTURE but also don't sleep on mobile gaming in any way it is SUBSTANTIAL. Cannot be overstated.
I think they will. They tried to chase the success of the Game Boy systems that Nintendo released, and it didn't work. I really think they'll make a way to make the PS5 portable.
Portable systems are the future. Steam Deck is so dang good. I want to play big titles on essentially a portable computer. PS Vita/ PSP walked so the Switxh could run, so that mobile computers, essent...more
PS Portal might have been the trial and it has sold well. Dont understand why they couldn't allow the Portal to also stream games as that would had given me reason to buy it.
I think they will. Not because of the success of the Switch but the Steam Deck showing you can have a portable that plays AAA games well. If they make it so you can play the games you already own, I t...more
If truly mobile is defined as exclusively mobile, then no. I wouldn’t consider hybrid consoles to be “truly mobile”. I doubt we’ll see an exclusively mobile console ever again with the success...more
Considering (& I don't have the numbers for it) the growth of mobile gaming or being able to game on the go, not to mention the steady success of the Switch, I am genuinely surprised that Microsoft an...more
Yes, i think the PlayStation Portal was their first test in gauging interest on their return to a dedicated portable/handheld system. The success will depend on their pricing of the system, games that...more
I feel that "portable" is the way to go but very few have been able to hit the mark since Nintendo has monopolized the market.
The Vita was great hardware but the games flopped.
So the thing is, in Japan portable consoles have historically buried home consoles. Communing culture drives it over there with public transit as I understand it. Somehow Sony has continually missed t...more
I have bought into both of Sony's portable ecosystems and will not buy a third. The Portal has been selling out like crazy and while some may think this will prompt Sony to try their hand at portable ...more
I really hope so. The PSP was great and the Vita still rules. It would be the perfect time for them to do it again this year or next. Handheld gaming is back!
I think they're experimenting the market with Playstation Portal, then seeing what the next Nintendo console will be...and if it all seems right, like a groundhog coming out of its hidey hole...Vita r...more
They'll try, and I think they'll fail
The switch is way too popular for it (especially if you have the original and can pick between the couch and on the go) so depending in the ganes it'll be a big ...more
I don't think it would. There are things like Backbone that make the market for it a little fierce. Backbone makes it cheaper than it would be to just buy a whole new system. (Not an ad for Backbone)
Everyone doesn't have to do everything. Nintendo doesn't need state of the art graphics. Playstation doesn't need to go portable. But I guess at some point they'll try it again.
Yes, soon everything will be portable. We are moving away from screens and towards virtual screens like AR/VR. It makes financial sense in a few ways.
1. Sony isn’t huge in the TV market so the...more
