About Steampowered outages
Steampowered sits at number 54 on the worldwide traffic ranking with about 72M organic visits a month, and the address it resolves to belongs to Akamai Technologies, Inc. Steampowered answers on a single published address, and the responding server reports itself as nginx. Reverse DNS for the address behind steampowered.com resolves to a184-31-66-9.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com.
Name service for steampowered.com is operated by Akamai, with the registration held through MarkMonitor Inc., and dated to 2000. Steampowered.com sends an HSTS header, so browsers refuse it over plain HTTP. The certificate steampowered.com presented to us was issued by Let's Encrypt, covering 48 names, with 86 days left on it at first check, and negotiated over TLSv1.3. Our first check of steampowered.com returned HTTP 200 in 280 ms, of which 2 ms was name resolution and 1 ms the connection. The request to steampowered.com passed through 1 redirect before it settled on https://store.steampowered.com/. Those figures are the baseline this page measures steampowered.com against from now on, every 20 minutes.
What to do if Steampowered is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached steampowered.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Our next automated check runs within 20 minutes and this page updates with it.
The first thing worth trying
Work out which layer broke. If you cannot sign in to the console network at all, no individual game will work and there is nothing to try. If sign-in works and one game fails, it is that game.
How gaming services typically fail
You reach the title screen and stop. Matchmaking hangs, or you connect and are dropped within a minute. Single-player content in an online game frequently stops working too, because the entitlement check happens at launch. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our gaming status page, with more background in the longest outages on record.

How it compares with other gaming services
Over the last 30 days Steampowered ranks 12 of 13 gaming services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Steampowered sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is Roblox.
On speed, Steampowered answers our checks in about 309 ms against a category average of 254 ms - Slower than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 215 ms and the slowest 459 ms, against a 30-day average of 309 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every gaming service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure.
