About this network

Valve Corporation (VALVE-CORPORATION) — the game developer and operator of Steam, the dominant PC-gaming storefront and platform.

What it's used for

• Steam's own services: the store, matchmaking, and game content delivery for Valve's titles and the wider Steam catalog.

Notable

• First-party gaming infrastructure; an IP here is Valve/Steam, frequently seen when a PC game is downloading or connecting to Steam.
• Valve also uses commercial CDNs for bulk game downloads, so not all Steam traffic originates in this ASN.

Interesting

• Steam sales and big game launches produce some of the largest coordinated download spikes on the consumer internet.
