Steam appeared to be down for thousands of users on Tuesday, with nearly 20,000 users complaining about facing issues on Downdetector.
According to Downdetector, most people faced issues with server connections while some had login and game launch issues.
The Steam server maintenance is normally between 1:00pm and 3:00pm Pacific Time (PT) and lasts for 10–60 minutes, but the current time is 3:20pm PT, which means the outage is occurring outside of scheduled maintenance time.
Steam is yet to address the reported issue, with users taking to social media to express their frustration.
However, a more recent update on Downdetector showed that the number of complaints had fallen drastically to a little over 2000, suggesting that things are getting back to normal with Steam servers.
Users who continue to face problems can try restarting the router, clearing the Steam download cache, or running Steam as an administrator.
