Is Dota 2 Down?
We cannot tell whether Dota 2 is down right now
Our most recent successful reading is too old to judge anything from — this usually means our collector, not the game, is having a problem.
Last checked — that is older than we are comfortable judging from.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Dota 2 down right now?
- We cannot say yet. Our most recent successful reading is too old to judge anything from — this usually means our collector, not the game, is having a problem. Our most recent reading was taken 7 hours ago.
- How do you detect outages?
- We do not have access to any official status feed. We poll the platform every 5 minutes, store every reading, and compare the current count against the median for that same hour of the same weekday over the previous weeks. A count below 35% of normal for two consecutive readings is reported as an outage; below 60% for three consecutive readings is reported as degraded. This is statistical inference, not an official status page, and it can be wrong — a scheduled maintenance window and a real outage look identical from the outside.
- Where can I check the official Dota 2 server status?
- Valve does not publish an official per-game status page. The closest official sources are the game's own announcements on its Steam store page and the developer's support or social accounts. For Steam-wide problems, steamstat.us is a widely used community tracker.
