Gravebound hasn't launched yet
Early Access opens September 22, 2026. There's no live-service history to check yet, and no reports are possible until real players are in the game. This page will start showing live reports, a 24-hour chart, and an incident history automatically once it does — no rebuild needed.
▲ Is it broken for you? Tap what's failing
One tap. No account, no email. Reports are the only thing that tells the next player whether it's their connection or the servers — including when that player is you tomorrow.
Your report is anonymous. We store the category and the time. We do not store your IP address — it is hashed with a secret and today's date purely to stop one person filing fifty reports, and the hash cannot be reversed or matched to you tomorrow.

All Gravebound error codes →Maintenance, queues, and real outages
Three different things get reported as "Gravebound is down," and only one of them is an outage. The chart above is the fastest way to tell them apart, once there's data on it:
A real outage
Reports spike hard within an hour, then decay as the problem is fixed. Nobody announced it in advance.
Scheduled maintenance
Reports climb steadily and stay flat for the length of the window, because everyone hits the same wall at the same time and keeps hitting it.
A login queue
Matchmaking/login reports climb while server-connection reports stay low, and a Steam player count (if shown above) holds flat instead of dropping. The servers are up and full, not down — waiting is the only fix.
No dedicated status page has been published for Gravebound — the closest official channel is the official Discord. This tracker exists precisely because that gap is normal for this kind of game, not an exception.
If it's only broken for you
Most "is it down" moments aren't outages. Work down this list before assuming the servers are the problem — it's ordered by how often each one turns out to be the answer, not by how easy it is.
- 01
Check the report count above first
It costs nothing and it settles the question. A flat report count means other players are getting in fine, and everything below is worth your time. A spike means it isn't you, and none of it is.
- 02
Verify the game files
In Steam: right-click Gravebound → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files. A partial patch is the single most common cause of a game that launches and then fails to connect.
- 03
Restart the whole chain, in order
Game, then your launcher/Steam, then your router. People almost always do the first and skip the third — a stale router NAT table produces exactly the symptom people report as "servers down."
- 04
Rule out a VPN or restrictive network
A VPN fails matchmaking far more often than it fixes it, and so does a corporate or campus network that blocks the UDP ports a game server needs. If you're on a network you don't administer, that's the likely answer.
- 05
If it crashes rather than fails to connect, treat it as a crash
A game that starts and then dies, rather than never connecting, is usually a local fault — most often graphics drivers or overlay software, not the servers.
Gravebound server status: common questions
Is Gravebound down right now?
Gravebound isn't playable yet, so there's no service to be down until September 22, 2026. This page starts counting reports the moment the servers come up — no rebuild needed.
Is Gravebound down for everyone, or just me?
Compare the two signals on this page. If reports are flat and the Steam player count looks normal, plenty of people are getting in fine and the problem is at your end — work down the checklist below. If reports spike and the player count drops at the same time, it isn't you, and nothing you change locally will fix it. Gravebound is a new, self-published Early Access game rather than a major publisher's launch, so its normal player count runs far smaller than an MMO's — judge a drop against Gravebound's own recent numbers, not a AAA game's.
Is Gravebound's Early Access actually live, and when does it fully release?
Early Access is confirmed for September 22, 2026 — Crater Studios' own CraterMan stated "September 22nd for Early Access" directly in the game's Steam Discussions after players asked for a date. No 1.0 release date has been announced: the Steam store page and the studio's own site both still describe Gravebound as Early Access with no graduation date attached. Treat September 22 as the Early Access date only — anything more specific about a full release is a guess.
Crater Studios' Early Access date confirmation →Does Gravebound run on dedicated servers, or is it peer-to-peer?
Dedicated, not peer-to-peer. Gravebound's server hosting and matchmaking run on Edgegap's orchestration platform, deployed across 600+ locations worldwide with servers spinning up in roughly two seconds per match rather than sitting pre-warmed. Crater Studios' CEO Amnon Israel has said publicly the studio couldn't have shipped "dedicated servers and matchmaking infrastructure at this speed" without it. Practically, that means there's no player-hosted lobby to migrate away from if a match feels off — a bad run points at a server-side hiccup, not a squadmate's connection acting as the host.
Edgegap's Gravebound case study →Will there be a login queue when Gravebound's Early Access opens?
Nothing like that has been announced or observed. Crater Studios hasn't published AAA-style server-capacity messaging, and the game's hosting (see above) spins up servers on demand per match instead of running persistent world servers that fill to capacity. That's not a guarantee of a smooth opening — it means a queue screen specifically isn't the documented behavior to expect. If you can't get in, a flat failure to connect is more likely than a wait-in-line queue.
What does a "lost connection" or failed-extraction disconnect mean in Gravebound?
No specific error code or named failure mode has been documented for Gravebound yet — it doesn't have an Early Access track record to draw on. If you hit a disconnect or a failed extraction, note what you were doing (mid-fight, at the extraction point, loading into a new run) and check whether reports here are spiking at the same time. A pattern earns a dedicated page on this site once it's been seen and corroborated more than once, not from a single report.
A co-op session crashing to the main menu on join (regional connection timeout) →Can I play Gravebound solo, or do I need a full 6-player squad?
Solo works. Gravebound is built around 6-player squads, but Crater Studios' own site describes it as "load in solo or with your squad," and the Steam store page frames a run the same way. A partial or solo squad changes your odds against the game's machines and other players, not whether you can start a run at all.
Does Crater Studios announce planned maintenance for Gravebound?
No dedicated notice board or maintenance schedule has been published for Gravebound — unlike a major publisher's live-service game, Crater Studios hasn't set one up, and nothing found so far describes a recurring maintenance window. If the studio does take servers down for a patch, the official Discord or the game's Steam news hub is the most likely place it gets announced first, because a dedicated status page doesn't exist.
Is this the same "Gravebound" as the other game on Steam?
No — Steam lists two unrelated games named "Gravebound." This page tracks Crater Studios' 6-player co-op extraction shooter (Steam app 3613050), which entered Early Access September 22, 2026. There's also a separate, older, free game also called Gravebound (Steam app 3749780) from Atomic Game Labs, an unrelated wave-survival roguelite set in a crypt — if you're looking for that one, this page and its reports aren't about it.
Does Crater Studios publish an official status page for Gravebound?
No — there's no dedicated status or notice page for Gravebound. The closest official channels are the game's Steam news hub (app 3613050), Crater Studios' own site, and the official Discord at discord.gg/eauW8HhWEq, where the developers have posted updates and answered bug reports directly during the game's playtests. None of those are live status pages — they're announcements, the same gap this tracker exists to fill.
How does this tracker know Gravebound is down?
It doesn't measure Crater Studios' servers directly — nobody outside the studio can. It counts distinct players reporting a problem, the way any crowdsourced outage tracker works, and shows Steam's concurrent player count alongside it as a second, independent signal. Two weak signals that agree are more useful than either alone, especially for a smaller, self-published Early Access game where a single report can otherwise look scarier than it is. Reports are counted once per person, so repeatedly pressing the button doesn't move the number.
Incident history
Auto-logged from player reports over the last 30 days. An incident is a run of hours with at least six different players reporting in each, the same signal the verdict above responds to — so one frustrated player pressing a button repeatedly can never put an incident on this list.
No incidents logged in the last 30 days.
