Steam went down on Tuesday. Steamstat.us indicated earlier that the Steam Store, Steam Community and Web API were all down. But it’s been all systems go for the better part of the past hour.
Engadget staffers’ experience matches that. Earlier, when trying to access the Steam Store on Steam Deck and in the mobile app, only the UI loaded as an empty wrapper. Now everything appears to be loading normally.
At the peak of the outage, Steamstat.us showed over 1.5 million page views in the previous hour. That typically means lots of annoyed gamers are trying to find out why they’re having problems. PC Gamer reports that APIs for Valve’s first-party games (including Counter-Strike 2 and Deadlock) were also offline earlier.
We’ll keep an eye on the situation and update if the problems return.
