The fastest, most reliable place to check VRChat server status is the official status page: VRChat Status Page — it shows component health (API, authentication, realtime networking) and regional availability (US West/East, EU, JP) and lists active or recent incidents. For official troubleshooting guidance and steps to take when the service shows issues, consult the VRChat Help Center connection troubleshooting article.
If you want community confirmation or live updates, check VRChat’s official Discord (the server has a server-status/announcements channel) and quick user reports on third-party monitors like Downdetector’s VRChat page. If you’re troubleshooting locally, try these quick steps:
- Restart the client or device
- Switch instance region (if one region is degraded)
- Clear VRChat cache from Settings > Debug
- Check Discord/Twitter for official updates
Note: the in-client “Server Status” display has had bugs for some users, so prefer the web status page or Discord for the most accurate, up-to-date information. VRChat feedback on server-status bug.
