Steam Store & Login Maintenance — June 2026 Schedule
Valve schedules routine Steam maintenance that can briefly affect the store, community pages, and login. Learn what usually goes offline and how long maintenance typically lasts.
Steam maintenance usually hits the store and community first while game downloads and in-game connectivity often keep working. Players see 'Steam is temporarily unavailable' or connection errors when browsing the store or friends list.
Maintenance windows are typically announced on Steam's official channels. During maintenance, avoid clearing your download cache or reinstalling Steam unless errors persist after the window ends. Use our Steam status page to see if issues align with a known maintenance period or a wider outage.
Key points
- Store and community often offline first; in-game play may continue
- Typical maintenance lasts 15–60 minutes
- Connection errors during maintenance are usually temporary
- Check Steam status before reinstalling the client
FAQ
Can I still play games during Steam maintenance?
Often yes for already-installed titles in offline or online mode, but store purchases, friend lists, and workshop browsing may fail until maintenance completes.
How do I fix Steam connection errors after maintenance?
Restart the Steam client, verify server status, and flush DNS if errors persist more than 30 minutes after the scheduled window.
