Steam is experiencing an outage that’s impacting users ability to access the game store and play games online. Valve hasn’t acknowledged the outage publicly, but SteamDB’s unofficial Steam Status page reports that the Steam Store, Steam Community, and Steam Web APIs are all offline.
DownDetector received over 6,000 outage reports around 1:15PM ET, and Steam is also inaccessible from Valve’s mobile apps. The outage appears to be affecting APIs for Valve’s online games, like Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Counterstrike 2, as well.
Steam’s last major outage was in October, when the store and online services were unavailable for an hour. Earlier in September, the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong temporarily took down Steam, the Xbox Store and Nintendo’s eShop due to how many people tried to download the game at the same time.
