ATV Offroad Fury 3 is the third title in the Sony-published series of ATV games. It also marks the handover of the franchise from US developer Rainbow Studios to UK developer Climax Racing.

It features competitive off-road circuit racing gameplay, as well as freestyle-trick-based gameplay. Games can be played single player, or local multiplayer with up to four players split-screen. Online play is also fully supported with additional features such as a bulletin board feature and friends lists.

The core career mode centers around the player entering racing and freestyle championships. New tracks, vehicles and outfits can be unlocked along the way.
