Quake III in the browser
Our first check of this link never completed. On recheck, q3.pieter.com loads a working arena entry: Q3JS, a non-commercial preservation project that is explicit about not being affiliated with id Software.
A live arena with a public player count.
At our October 13 check the page showed 36 players online, a live map rotation and a play button. Those numbers move on their own; treat them as a snapshot, not a guarantee.

Prepare your first visit
- Confirm the arena, not a campaignThis is a multiplayer preservation build. It does not promise the original single-player content.
- Give the first load timeWebAssembly builds transfer engine and map data before the menu appears. Avoid reloading while progress is advancing.
- Check input captureArena shooters lock the mouse. Find the project’s capture and release control before switching tabs mid-match.
Has Radiant Guide tested the gameplay?
No. We verified the entry page, the project credits and the published player count on October 13, 2026. A joined match, frame rate, netcode quality and touch controls remain untested.
