Is Horses of Hoofprint Bay down right now?

Updated · Live

Quick answer

Horses of Hoofprint Bay is single-player with no online servers, so it can't be "down". The card below shows how many people are playing on Steam right now from the official Steam API, refreshed every 5 minutes. If the game won't start or a new day won't load (a launch-week forum thread), the usual causes are a pending Steam update, Steam Cloud sync, or a Steam-wide outage — steps below.

— playing Horses of Hoofprint Bay right now on Steam

Live number from Steam's official player-count API (Steam players only; console and Game Pass players aren't counted). If the number is normal but you can't connect, the problem is usually on your side or a rolling update, not an outage.

Official channels to check during an outage

What to check

  1. Steam is updating the game. Launch-week patches are common; let it finish.
  2. Steam itself. A Steam-wide outage blocks launches and cloud saves — check the status site linked above.
  3. Verify game files in Steam → Properties → Installed Files.
  4. Saves. If a save vanished after an update, see the demo and save page — back up the save folder before deleting anything.

The player count comes from the official Steam API through our own cached endpoint. If the API doesn’t answer, the card says so.

FAQ

A new day won't load — what now?

Reported by one player in launch week without a developer reply yet. Save, quit to desktop, verify game files in Steam (Properties → Installed Files), and make sure Steam has finished any update. If it persists, post in the Steam forum with your save.

Does this count players on other platforms?

There are none — the game is Steam only (Windows and Linux).

Where do I report bugs?

The Steam forum (the developers read it) or the studio's support e-mail given in the launch post.
