While Steam is known for having some planned maintenance, it appears that the gaming platform and storefront are failing to load entirely or are operating very slowly. We’ve seen posts from impacted users on X (formerly Twitter) and Threads, as well as two sites that track the platform’s uptime.
Steamstat.us, which is an unofficial status tracker for Steam, is showing the ‘Steam Store’ as unavailable entirely and that the ‘Steam Web API’ is offline. Currently, I’m based in New York City, and while I can currently load into Steam’s site in Safari or Chrome, I was unable to about 10 minutes ago.
So, to track the latest with Steam and to try and see when this might be resolved, TechRadar is spinning up a live blog, and we’re reaching out to the company to ask if they have an ETA of when this might be resolved, and what’s causing it.
