CS Servers Down [Updated]

Update at 15:00 CEST: Counter-Strike servers have been restored — all major features, including matchmaking and inventory, are now available again. Matches at IEM Cologne 2025 have resumed as scheduled: teams Astralis and B8 , as well as FURIA Esports and FlyQuest, have returned to the servers and are continuing their matches.

Original News:
Right now, players are experiencing widespread issues accessing Counter-Strike: matchmaking, inventory, session status, and other features are not working. The site steamstat.us reports an internal API error, and the game's status is marked as Unavailable. This is a global outage affecting all regions.

The outage has already impacted the progress of IEM Cologne 2025 — due to the server crash, matches between Astralis vs B8 and FURIA Esports vs FlyQuest have been paused as they cannot proceed without connection to the official systems. The outage has also disrupted third-party services and platforms like FACEIT. Such outages are rare and usually indicate serious internal issues — players can only wait and stay tuned for updates.
