CS servers stopped working [Updated]

Update 15:00 CEST: Counter-Strike servers have been restored – all core features, including matchmaking and inventory, are back online. Matches at IEM Cologne 2025 continued as scheduled: the Astralis and B8 teams, as well as FURIA and FlyQuest, returned to the servers and are finishing their meetings.

Original news:

Right now, players have massive problems accessing Counter-Strike: matchmaking, inventory, status sessions, and other features do not work. The steamstat.us website reports an internal API error, and the game status is indicated as Unavailable. This is a global outage that has affected all regions.

The outage has already affected the course of IEM Cologne 2025 — due to the crashed servers, the matches of Astralis vs B8 and FURIA vs FlyQuest have been suspended, which cannot continue without connecting to official systems. The work of third-party services and platforms like FACEIT is also disrupted. Such failures are rare and usually indicate serious internal problems – players can wait and follow the updates.
