Connecting To CSGO Network – CSGO Servers Are Down
On November 2, CSGO players across the United States reported outages of the game servers. It’s still unclear what caused the outage, but it could be due to a number of reasons.
The first and a common cause of server outages is a new update. When a new update is shipped to the game, the servers can go down for a short while. However, in case of an update, the servers can be up quite quickly.
Another reason behind server outages may be a technical fault in Valve’s servers. This is very unlikely to happen but has happened on more than one occasion in the past.
In case you’re finding yourself unable to launch CSGO or join a game, you can check for yourself if CSGO servers are down.
There are a number of websites to check server statuses of popular games like CSGO or DOTA 2, and even the server status of Steam itself. One of the most reliable websites to check server issues is steamstat.us; it shows detailed stats on the statuses of game coordinators of Dota 2, Artifact, CSGO, TF 2 along with reports of server outages.
