About Steam

Steam is Valve's PC gaming platform, covering the storefront, player community (profiles, friends, groups), Steam Cloud saves, Steam Workshop (user mods), Steam Remote Play, and the Steamworks API used by most PC games for multiplayer matchmaking and achievements. Valve does not publish an official status page; the community maintains steamstat.us which tracks individual components. Outages typically affect Steam login (players cannot launch games that require Steam auth), Workshop (mods fail to download), Cloud saves (progress does not sync), or the Steam Store (purchases hang). Multiplayer in Steam-integrated games breaks when the Steamworks matchmaker is degraded.

The official Steam status page is at steamstat.us. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or even hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.

Where is the official Steam status page?+

Can I play Steam games offline during an outage?+

Yes, if you have previously launched the game in online mode. Click "Go Offline" in the Steam client menu (or start Steam offline). Games with always-online DRM (certain MMOs, live-service titles) still fail. Single-player games launched offline work normally.

Why does Steam not have an official status page?+

Valve traditionally does not publish official status dashboards. The community site steamstat.us reverse-engineers status from Valve API endpoints and is the de facto source of truth. It tracks Steam Store, Community, Web API, Client, and per-game matchmaking status in real time.
