Watch order / 3 routes
Steins;Gate watch order
Follow the original experiment, its epilogue, and the alternate-route companion without treating every branch as mandatory.
Steins;Gate works best when the original TV series is treated as the anchor. Steins;Gate 0 is a companion route that belongs after that foundation, while the committed relation snapshot identifies the two specials as sequel or alternate-version material.
The page keeps the route description spoiler-safe on purpose. The useful decision for a first watch is simply: original series first, companion material afterward, optional specials when you want them.

FAQ
Steins;Gate watch order questions
Quick answers to the questions people actually search.
What is the best Steins;Gate watch order?
Start with Steins;Gate, then watch Steins;Gate 0. The Poriomania special is an optional sequel-side epilogue, while Missing Link is an alternate-version bridge.
Should I watch Steins;Gate 0 first?
No. Steins;Gate 0 is a later companion route in the committed registry and is easier to understand after the original series.
Is Steins;Gate 0 a sequel?
It is a companion TV entry in the same franchise, not a replacement for the original series. Keep the original series first.
Do I need the Steins;Gate specials?
No. The relation snapshot identifies Poriomania as a sequel special and Missing Link as an alternate version. Both are optional for the main TV route.
