By watching for the speed and color of the dot at your nearest location you are able to see how high the load is right now.Ī normal or slightly speeding blue dot indicates a stable network status, with some higher than usual but okay load. The available locations are different for every map and part of the network.

Our live maps are indicating in a pretty cool way how the status of the steam network is right at the moment. So you are able to switch to a nearby location if possible. One more advantage with the maps is that you can see where it is down and where it is up. There you can see all available locations that we are able to track at the moment.

If you want to avoid that or like to see it more visually you can use our virtual health maps. So in case, you use a proxy, or basically, an IP that points to a location that differs from your real one it could be wrong. We resolve your IP address to get that information. The current steam server status of the selected service we display to you is in most cases based on your current location. Which means that a user from the United States can experience downtimes, while for a user from Russia or China everything is fully available. Users are connected to a nearby located server or data center by default. Also based on your location the server status can be different. If there are downtimes they are probably limited to a single service. Steam is made of several independent services. Also, there is the possibility of global network failures that affect the reachability of Steam but also of other web services. Please note that the status of Steam may differ by your location. This includes the Steam Store, Community and the gaming servers for CS:GO, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2.įor the first, Steam downtimes are very rare! But in case something goes wrong there is a big community that will take note of the incident and it turns into a pretty large event. Because Steam (or it's operator Valve) doesn't provide an official way to check the health of its platform, steamstatus.io gives you a simple overview of the current network status. Often millions of users are online at the same time. Steam is the biggest gaming platform in the world.
