Users are currently unable to access the Steam platform, with reports indicating that over 6,000 outage incidents were logged around 1:15 PM ET. The disruption affects not only the Steam Store but also the Steam Community and various online features, including those for popular games such as Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Counterstrike 2.
While Valve has not made any official statement regarding the situation, data from SteamDB shows that key services are offline. Additionally, users have noted inaccessibility through Valve's mobile applications. This incident follows a previous significant outage in October, which rendered Steam's services unavailable for about an hour. The platform also faced issues in September when the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong led to a surge in traffic, affecting multiple gaming stores.
