Update: As of 2:30 pm ET, after a brief comeback, Steam is down again. Not great! We’ll let you know when it looks like things are back for real.
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.
Downdetector is also indicating some serious issues with Steam, ongoing since a little after 1 pm ET.
P0nchik95 on the Steam subreddit has a theory—I don’t know how likely it is to be accurate (not very, I suspect) but it’s not terrible advice anyway:
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.
