Original story:
It’s the day before Christmas and all through the house, nobody is using Steam, not even a mouse—because, you guessed it, Steam is down.
It’s unclear what’s going on, but at a little before 2 pm ET on a Wednesday, we’re guessing this not routine maintenance. Steam appears to be completely gone: The unofficial Steam Status website is reporting websocket errors, and says the entire Steam store, community, and web API are offline. SteamStat page views are also jumping up, which is a pretty reliable indicator that something’s gone wrong.
We’ve reached out to Valve to see if they’ve got anything to say about it, and will keep an eye on things in the meantime. Naturally, we will also update when Steam is back.
It’s great to hear that Steam is back online just in time for the holidays! The timing is perfect for gamers looking to enjoy some festive gaming. Here’s to a smooth and fun gaming experience!
