How StatusTimer works

A clear overview of what we track, how often we update, and what our status labels mean.

Public data sources

We combine publicly available information: official publisher status pages, player and audience figures where available, game metadata, and official news from supported titles.

Scheduled monitoring

Games in our catalog are checked on a recurring schedule and labeled online, down, or maintenance. We also check connectivity for Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, X. Each page shows when data was last refreshed.

Per-game news

Patch notes and updates from official publisher channels appear on that game's status page — not pulled from forums or social media, and not mixed into a single global feed.

Independent & informational

StatusTimer is not affiliated with publishers or platforms. Status labels reflect our monitored signals and are provided for informational purposes only.
