The peak of complaints about Steam on Downdetector.su occurred at 18:15 Moscow time, at which time 180 users reported a failure. On this portal, the number of complaints exceeded 350 in the last hour and 600 in the last 24 hours.

Steam is an online store and platform for launching games where users can communicate with each other. After the start of the military operation in Ukraine, the service prohibited Russian users from replenishing their accounts with Russian bank cards.
Against the background of the restrictions imposed by the site, Russian companies presented their payment tools for replenishing Steam accounts. MTS and T-Bank also have such services.
