Steam counts never represent all platforms. Unknown means no official answer is available — not that a game is down.

Game server status FAQ.
How can I tell if a game is down for everyone?
Open the game's page here and check its official status first. A service-wide problem shows up in the publisher's own feed; a problem only you have usually doesn't. A green official status still doesn't guarantee every player can connect, so the troubleshooting steps on each page cover your own setup too.
Where does GameStatusNow get its data?
From official, public sources only: Epic Games' public status API for Fortnite, Jagex's official world list for Old School RuneScape, and Steam's public current-player API for Steam player counts. Each page names its source and shows when we last checked it. Our checker runs every 5 minutes.
Do the "players now" figures include consoles?
Steam figures count Steam players only — not PlayStation, Xbox, mobile or other PC launchers — and are labelled "Steam only". The Old School RuneScape figure is different: it comes from Jagex's world list and covers every platform.
Why does a game show Unknown?
Unknown means we have no official answer to show. Either the publisher has no public status feed we could find (ARC Raiders and Marvel Rivals, as of November 2026), or our last check failed or is more than 20 minutes old. We never fill the gap with a guess.
Why can a game show Operational when I can't log in?
A problem can be limited to one region, one platform or your own network, or the publisher may not have confirmed it yet. Check the component details and the official channels on the game's page, then test your own connection.
