Server outage or your connection?
Check real-time server status for online games and gaming platforms. Login failures, matchmaking errors, and disconnects are frustrating. Find out immediately whether it's your connection or a game-wide server issue. Reports from players around the world are aggregated in real time.
- Check the platform and the game separately. A Steam, PlayStation Network or Xbox outage blocks many games at once. If only one game fails, its own servers are the cause.
- Look for patch day. Most games go offline for maintenance before an update. Queues and "servers unavailable" right after a patch are expected and usually short.
- Test another online game. If it connects, your internet is fine. If both fail, restart your router or check your internet provider.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if game servers are down or it's my internet?
If other games and websites work fine but one specific game won't connect, the game's servers are likely the issue. Check this page: if other players are reporting the same problem at the same time, it's a server-side outage rather than a local network problem.
Which gaming services does DownStatus monitor?
DownStatus tracks major gaming platforms and online games including Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch, Valorant, and others. The full list with live status is shown above.
Why do game servers go down so often?
Popular games see massive concurrent player spikes, especially after a major update or during peak hours. Server capacity can be overwhelmed, or a deployment of new game code can introduce bugs. DDoS attacks on gaming services are also more common than in other industries.
What should I do while a game is down?
Check the game's official status page or social media for an ETA. Most outages resolve within 1 to 3 hours. If only one mode (like matchmaking or voice chat) is affected, try switching to a different game mode. Clear your DNS cache if you're getting connection errors even after the outage is resolved.
