Steam is Down Right Now

by

On September 4, there was an outage with Steam, which is typically a dependable and widely-used gaming platform on PCs. However, due to some unexpected issues, users were unable to make game purchases on this day.

On the morning of Thursday, September 4th, I found myself in a predicament – Steam was down for me and many others, with the store’s purchasing capabilities being particularly affected. The downtime coincided with the official release of Hollow Knight: Silksong, leading me to suspect that this highly-anticipated Metroidvania from Team Cherry might be the cause of the issue.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has been generating excitement for six long years and is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly awaited games in history. Given its immense popularity, it’s no wonder that its release seemed to have triggered a massive influx of gamers flocking to Steam, potentially causing the platform to crash under the strain. As per Down Detector, thousands of users have already reported issues with Steam.

It turns out that Steam’s current issues aren’t limited to just the page for the game “Silksong.” In fact, if you click on any game on Steam, an error message appears, making it impossible for users to buy anything at this moment, not only “Silksong.” Here’s hoping that Steam resolves these problems quickly so eager fans waiting for “Silksong” can purchase it immediately, and regular Steam users can buy other products without delay as well.

We will update this page as soon as Steam services have been fully restored.
