Last Flag studio lays off half its employees as it puts ‘the future of the game in the hands of our players’

The CTF shooter Last Flag initially caught our eye because of the co-founders of developer Night Street Games: Mac and Dan Reynolds, better known to the world as, respectively, the manager and lead singer of Imagine Dragons. But it turned out to be a pretty good shooter too: PC Gamer editor Tyler Wilde, who’s no slouch in the field of shooting and capturing, spent some time with it in 2025 and “found a lot to like about it.”

But as is so often the case these days, Last Flag struggled to find an audience. In April, Night Street Games said it would make the game free to play every weekend until its first update came out, but just a week later it pulled the plug, saying that “our player count is not currently where we need it to be to support additional development beyond our upcoming planned patches.”
