Official tournaments for Herd
HerdGames is where Herd players compete: recurring World-Cup-style tournaments — round-robin groups, knockout playoffs, a final and a small final — with Steam trophies for the podium.
How it works
- Sign in with Steam. No extra account — your Steam persona and avatar are your identity here.
- Register for an open tournament. Free, one click. You can invite friends by link, email, or straight from your Steam friends list.
- Play your matches in their scheduled windows. Every match is a time window. When both players hit Ready, the match goes LIVE and you launch Herd from the match card.
- Climb the bracket. Top players qualify from their group into single-elimination playoffs, up to the final — plus a small final for 3rd place.
- Win Steam trophies. The top 3 earn a trophy visible on Steam.
