About Steam outages
Steam is Valve’s PC gaming platform and storefront. It has a famous weekly quirk: brief routine maintenance most Tuesdays, plus store slowdowns during major sales when traffic multiplies.
Steam FAQ
Why is Steam down every Tuesday?
Valve restarts core Steam services for maintenance most Tuesdays (typically afternoon Pacific time), briefly dropping logins, friends, and the store. It usually lasts minutes — if your outage is longer or on another day, something else is going on.
Can I still play games when Steam is down?
Single-player games already installed generally keep working in offline mode, but multiplayer matchmaking, the store, cloud saves, and library downloads all need Steam’s backend. A Steam outage mainly blocks buying, downloading, and online play.
Is Steam down for everyone or just me?
We test Steam (https://steampowered.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Steam's official status channels.
