Hi Charlene,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forums.
I understand that you are facing an issue with the game controller as your SteelSeries 3GC game controller is not working with Windows 8.
I am sorry to inform you that as of now there are no drivers present for Windows 8.
Please answer the following questions for better understanding of the issue:
1)Do you get any error message?
2)Did you try connecting the device on another computer and check if it works?
3)Did you try connecting the device to different USB Port?
There are no drivers available for Windows 8. Your SteelSeries 3GC game controller is only compatible with the following Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
