About Steam outages
Steam matters beyond its store because it authenticates multiplayer sessions for a huge portion of PC gaming. When the Steam login service has trouble, games that have nothing to do with Valve stop letting players into online modes.
Steam's components fail separately: The store, the community and Workshop, the content delivery network that serves downloads, and the user authentication service. "Could not connect to the Steam network" is the login service; slow or stalled downloads are usually a regional CDN issue that switching download region in settings can work around. Valve has a strongly weekly-patterned load curve, and Tuesday evening maintenance around 6pm Pacific is routine rather than an outage. Valve does not run an official status page; the community-maintained steamstat.us has become the de facto reference and tracks per-region CDN health.
What to do if Steam is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached store.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. Run the check again now to confirm.
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.

Steam measured against its peers
How it compares with other gaming services
Over the last 30 days Steam ranks 2 of 11 gaming services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Steam sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is Roblox.
On speed, Steam answers our checks in about 360 ms against a category average of 259 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 227 ms and the slowest 1574 ms, against a 30-day average of 360 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. Check it yourself.
Steam status: Common questions
Is Steam down right now?
Steam is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach Steam when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is Steam?
Steam has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does Steam have an official status page?
Yes - Steam publishes one at https://steamstat.us/. It is the authoritative source for confirmed incidents, though official pages usually update after user reports have already peaked.
Steam discussion
Useful comments say what broke, roughly where you are and roughly when it started - That is what turns a pile of complaints into something other people can act on. Links are shown as plain text and carry no SEO value, so there is nothing here worth spamming.
