Splitgate 2 is the latest free-to-play sensation to hit the market, attracting thousands of players and constantly surpassing its peak player count. But the last thing you want when playing a multiplayer shooter is encountering server issues.
If you’re wondering what to do when Splitgate 2 servers go down, read on.
Why are Splitgate 2 servers down?
Splitgate 2 servers can go down when the game gets a new update or during server maintenance. One of the most prominent instances of servers going down was during the release of its ongoing beta version.
The beta launch was plagued with bugs and server instability issues that disrupted matchmaking and prevented players from trying out many game modes. The developers had to take the game offline after a few hours of being available for everyone, but they brought it back online within a day or two, deploying fixes and issuing an apology to the players.
How to check Splitgate 2 server status
The best way to check for Splitgate 2 server outages, bugs, game-breaking glitches, and other errors is to check out the official Splitgate 2 Status handle on X (formerly Twitter). As the bio for the handle says, it provides “Realtime Status & Updates” for the game. You can also check this page for new features, additions, and changes during or before a new update goes live, while maintenance is performed, or any other announcements regarding the game.
How to check if your platform is down
If you don’t find anything regarding server outage or maintenance on the Splitegate 2 X page, you can check if the gaming services for your respective platforms are down. Splitgate 2 is available on Microsoft Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. Here’s how to check the server status for each platform.
How to check if Steam is down
You can check the Steam Status page on SteamDB to see if services are functional. While SteamDB is a third-party website, this page is generally relied on by the Steam community and displays the number of players using the platform, the status of Valve games, and other aspects of the platform, like the Steam Community, Store, and more.
How to check if Epic Games is down
Unlike Steam, Epic Games has an official “Status” page for you to check whenever you suspect an outage or server issue. You can check this page if you’re facing connectivity issues while playing the game from the Epic Games Launcher, but the Splitgate Status X handle displays no signs of an outage.
How to check if PSN is down
If you’re playing Splitgate 2 on a PS4 or PS5, you can check the PlayStation Network status page. Check if both the “Account Management” and “Gaming and Social” services are running.
How to check if Xbox services are down
If you’re encountering issues while playing Splitgate 2 on a compatible Xbox console or using the Xbox App on PC, you can visit the Xbox support page and check the status of Xbox services. The website has a key to guide you, with icons representing active and limited services as well as those experiencing a major outage.
Aside from these dedicated websites to check server status for your respective platform, you can also check the Downdetector website. This is another third-party website that tracks outages and reports for several platforms and services.
If you don’t see a problem with your platform, you’ll have to check your internet connection for instability, low speed, and other potential issues that can affect an online-only title like Splitgate 2.
