Tyr Community
Squads, custom games, replays, and the Discord that ran the playtest years.
Tyr is an 8v8 that currently lets you stack three. That number shapes the community. You are not bringing a full party into a lobby like a hero shooter. You are bringing a small fireteam into a pug. This page is how to do that without wasting lives. Official links sit on the links hub. Match rules sit on how to play.
Discord
The public invite is discord.gg/tyr. During playtests this was also how people got into the game (ask for an invite, or share codes you already had). Early Access is a Steam install, but Discord remains the LFG board, the competitive-role bot for cups, and the place Stoke actually answers questions. Be specific when you LFG: map preference if you are in customs, class you drive, and whether you understand spotting. “Any” usually means a third heavy.
Squads in client
Create a Squad, share the join code. You land in the same match on the same team. Cap three. Stoke has said they want at least four later. Until that patch, a four-friend group should run a custom or sit one. There is no split-screen couch mode.
Custom games
Dev updates from the playtest year showed custom games with a shareable code, host map select, and team swapping — the same shape you want for tryouts and community cups. The video on this page is that explainer, including the replay beta. Use customs to practice a Ravine hill with two friends before you take it into Ranked.
Replays
- Settings → Game → enable Replays.
- Files save to
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Tyr\Saved\Demos. - Watch from the Battles tab.
- Only the ten most recent matches stay. Copy a file out to archive a cup game.
Watch your gray clips. Watch the moment you fired unsilenced in a bush. Watch the Energy bar that never left 33. Then read armor or Energy instead of blaming the tier list.
Tournaments
Stoke has already run prize-pool events during playtests (example: $2,500 on May 16, 2026, with $1,300 / $700 / $250 splits). Competitive roles live on Discord. This wiki will not invent a circuit. If a cup is real, it will be on Steam news or Discord first, then mentioned on updates.
Creator program and fan sites
Stoke opened a creator program during playtests. Tyr HQ and similar fan tools are useful for armor viewers. They are not LFG. They are not this wiki. Do not paste account credentials into a “free Gold” form. The only announced Gold purchase at launch is the Founder’s Pack.
Etiquette that actually wins games
- Say your class in voice or chat. Three Mauls and no Fuse is a choice.
- Do not shot-call a gray face. If it is gray, wait. Armor.
- If you die, spectate or leave. There is no penalty. Do not backseat a living Tempest into a ditch.
- Clip your ramps and Snitches, not your arguments.
If you are new, post that you are new. The people who still remember invite-only weekends will usually take a third. Send them how to play instead of a twenty-minute vod. The stack you want is one scout, one flex, one gray wall — lights, mediums, heavies — not three streamer mains fighting over Scorch mid.

How do custom games work?

Why did my replay disappear?
Tyr keeps ten matches. Copy the demo file out of AppData Local Tyr Saved Demos to keep it.
