Steam is down: Valve’s store and community acting up for PC gamers

You may run into some problems playing your PC games today.

Steam is down for many gamers on PC today. We’ve reached out to Valve to ask what is happening, but the Steam Status website confirms that the store and community parts of the service are not working. Many gamers have also taken to social networks to complain about the inability to get online with Steam. This is not affecting every game and every person the same. The intermittent outage is primarily keeping the store from loading, but it’s also causing issues for games that rely on Steam servers. That includes the multiplayer online battle arena Dota 2 and team shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
