Steam seems to be having issues right now after a group of gamers took to social media platforms to share the issue of the platform not working. This PC platform has millions of players 24/7 and its downtime is causing huge problems.

About an hour ago, the Steam platform stopped working completely, and the problem continues until the moment of writing this news. The gaming community is very upset, especially those who are waiting for the long-awaited game Sons of The Forest to be released in a few hours.

It should be noted that the platform is unlikely to go down for all players around the world. However, a large number of users have reported being affected by an unknown bug of unknown origin.

According to Down Detector, which tracks the status of known servers, there are between 9,000 and 11,000 reports of Steam crashes. This is likely just a drop in the number of followers affected. The reason has not yet been confirmed, but the most likely reason is the upcoming release of Sons of the Forest.

Steam down?? Children of the forest vented, perhaps? 😭

While this may come as a surprise to some, Sons of the Forest has recently become the replacement for Starfield for many as the preferred game on the platform. This is evidenced by the large number of users who are ready to play it upon launch.
