Starting at around 1PM ET on December 24, Steam experienced an outage that impacted users ability to access the game store and play games online. Valve didn't acknowledge the outage publicly, but SteamDB's unofficial Steam Status page reported that the Steam Store, Steam Community, and Steam Web APIs were all offline.
DownDetector received over 6,000 outage reports around 1:15PM ET, and Steam is also inaccessible from Valve's mobile apps. The outage appears to be affecting APIs for Valve's online games, like Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Counterstrike 2, as well.
By around 4PM ET, Steam itself had begun to rebound, and as of 6PM ET, the platform had largely recovered, with the main PC, mobile and Mac clients broadly fully functional, but ocassionally erroring out. There are still parts of the service that are extremely sluggish and, according to SteamDB, many of Valve's online games are down or only partially functional.
Steam's last major outage was in October, when the store and online services were unavailable for an hour. Earlier in September, the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong temporarily took down Steam, the Xbox Store and Nintendo's eShop due to how many people tried to download the game at the same time.
Update, December 24, 6PM ET: This story has been updated to note which Valve offerings are currently functional and when they recovered.

 Xbox has brought cloud gaming gaming to some Amazon Fire TV models. These include the Fire TV 4-Series and the Fire TV Omni QLED Series. This lets people play Xbox games directly on the television, without needing a bulky console or even something like a Fire TV stick.
Gamers do need a couple of things. First and foremost, this service requires a subscription to Game Pass. Plans start at $10 a month and shoot all the way up to $30 per month. They'll also need a compatible wireless controller, though most Bluetooth-enabled gamepads should work.

Waymo has resumed its robo-taxi service in San Francisco after a power outage stranded vehicles around the city, CNBC reported. The blackout, caused by a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) substation fire, caused traffic light disruptions that affected Waymo's automated driving systems.
