PC gamers whose very existence depends upon the availability of Valveās Steam service take note: itāll be down for maintenance for an estimated three hours (āat the mostā) on Thursday.
The downtime will kick off at 6pm Pacific, and will affect pretty much everything and anything Steam-related, including in-game matchmaking & lobbies, buying from the Steam store, downloading from the Steam store and even the Steam community.
If everything goes according to plan, itāll be back up and running by 9pm Pacific. If itās not up by then, panic.
