SAND server status

Steam counts how many people are playing SAND: Raiders of Sophie right now. This page reads that number fresh on every visit and stores nothing. Use it to tell a real outage apart from a problem on your own machine.

4,888

Are the servers down?

No, not globally. Steam counts 4,888 people in the game at this moment, so it is running normally for other players. If you cannot get in, the cause is far more likely to be your own connection, your game install, or a problem in your region. Work through the checks below.

If you cannot connect

01Read the game's news feed on its Steam store page. Hotfixes and maintenance windows are announced there first.
02Verify the integrity of the game files through Steam. A part-downloaded patch is the most common cause of a failed launch.
03Close Steam completely, then start it again. A stale login session blocks matchmaking while the game itself stays up.
04Turn off any VPN and check that your firewall allows the game. Both break the connection while everything else looks fine.
05During Early Access the servers restart for patches. Wait ten minutes, then try once more.

What this page can and cannot tell you

SAND: Raiders of Sophie has no official public status feed, so no site can honestly show you a green or red light for each region. The live player count is the closest honest signal there is. A healthy count proves the game is up for other people. It cannot prove that your own region or your own account is fine.

The number covers Steam players worldwide. It comes straight from Steam and is not adjusted or averaged.

While you wait

Plan the next run instead. The interactive map of Sophie shows every landmark and point of interest, the Trampler build planner lays out a loadout cell by cell, and every crafting recipe lists exact ingredients and craft times.
