Steam is rebounding after an outage – here's everything we know about issues accessing the Store and games
If you can't access Steam on the web or via the app, you're not alone
While statuses for various parts of Steam have been fluctuating since about 12 PM ET, all of the Steam Services are listed as normal as of 1:40 PM ET on SteamStats.us.
Visits to this unofficial Steam status page have also dropped, from over 1,700,000 to 1,308,000, which likely indicates that the service is starting to recover.
While reported outages for Steam spiked to over 40,000 earlier today on Down Detector, the chart currently shows that the service is recovering. As of 1:19 PM ET, reported outages are at 3,591.
I've just tried loading the main Steam webpage again, and although it loads, it's clear that some elements aren't appearing. Primarily, the main slider, which showcases titles centered on the homepage, appears empty, and the site itself isn't fully loaded.
It appears that Steam is starting to recover, as of 1:25 PM ET, Steamstats.us is showing that 'Steam Store', 'Steam Community', 'Steam Web API', and 'Steam Connection Managers' are now back to normal.
Though there have been over 1,700,000 page views to this status checker in the past hour, this does indicate some issues with the platform.
Here's a look at Steamstats as of us getting this live blog up and running at 1:10PM ET.
