Frequently asked
Is Steam down right now?+
Right now, Steam appears to be operational. We couldn't read Steam's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.
How can I tell if it's Steam or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Steam's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Steam's side.
Why is Steam slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Steam is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.
What can I use while Steam is down?+
Good alternatives include Fortnite, Discord, Twitch. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Steam's official status page?+
Steam's official status page is at https://help.steampowered.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
