Steam outage Tuesday — Services restored after major disruption
Steam experienced a significant outage on Tuesday affecting the Steam Store, Steam Community and the Web API. Services have been coming back online and, for the past hour, most users report normal access.
Key points
- Steamstat.us recorded ~1.5 million pageviews in one hour at the outage peak — a sign many users were checking status updates.
- PC Gamer and other outlets reported that APIs for Valve first‑party games (including Counter‑Strike 2 and Deadlock) were offline during the outage.
- There has been no detailed official statement from Valve as of publishing; Steam’s public-facing status pages are limited, so community trackers were the fastest source of real-time info.
Where to check live status
- Steamstat.us — unofficial real-time tracker for Steam services
- DownDetector — Steam outage reports
