Developed by Night Street Games\u2014an indie studio founded by Dan and Mac Reynolds, the lead singer and manager of Imagine Dragons\u2014 Last Flag is a 5v5 multiplayer shooter themed around the classic capture-flag-game mode.<\/p>\n<p>Last Flag seemingly had everything going for it. It was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/last-flag-announcement-summer-game-fest\/\"> revealed in a splashy trailer<\/a> at last year&#8217;s Summer Games Fest, and as noted by<a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/even-the-lead-singer-of-imagine-dragons-can-barely-get-anyone-to-play-his-live-service-game-2000688643\" target=\"_blank\"> Kotaku<\/a>, was marketed on the band&#8217;s social media accounts, advertised to 10 million followers on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DXHtXqMAD97\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram<\/a>. It was also released at a<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2721340\/Last_Flag\/\" target=\"_blank\"> very reasonable price point<\/a> ($15 in the US\/\u00a312 in the UK, with a 20% launch discount on top) and has no microtransactions.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, far from being clueless celebrities dabbling in an artform they know nothing about, Dan and Mac are by all accounts passionate and engaged game designers, wanting<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/before-imagine-dragons-brothers-dan-and-mac-reynolds-always-wanted-to-make-videogames-now-their-first-last-flag-is-about-to-release\/\"> to enter the industry<\/a> before Imagine Dragons took off. In that same article, PC Gamer&#8217;s Tyler Wilde mentions that Last Flag is decent beneath the fingers too. &#8220;I&#8217;ve played a handful of Last Flag rounds at different stages of development, and I&#8217;ve found the format fun so far,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;If Last Flag winds up being popular enough for a meta to develop, I can foresee some clever mind games being played.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/9giWh-QEThA\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sadly, that last point now seems unlikely to happen. When Last Flag launched on April 14, it attracted fewer than 600 concurrent players at its peak, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/2721340\/charts\/\" target=\"_blank\"> SteamDB<\/a>. That number has now dropped to just under 400 concurrent players in the last 24 hours. Overall player numbers will be higher than this, of course, but that isn&#8217;t to say that they are high. The main complaint in Last Flag&#8217;s (mostly positive)<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2721340\/Last_Flag\/#app_reviews_hash\" target=\"_blank\"> Steam reviews<\/a> is that matches are heavily populated by bots, another sign the game is struggling to find an audience.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-17\/the-imagine-dragons-brothers-are-taking-on-the-video-game-market\"> Bloomberg<\/a> (via Kotaku) a spokesperson for Night Street Games said that the studio was happy with the reviews it had received. But they wouldn&#8217;t comment on sales, instead hoping to &#8220;build a sustainable community and nurture and grow it over time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to identify where Night Street went wrong. The only thing I can point to is Last Flag&#8217;s visual style, which is very<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/fortnite\/\"> Fortnite<\/a> coded in a way that only seems to work for Fortnite nowadays (and even then,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/epic-games-lays-off-more-than-1-000-employees-were-spending-significantly-more-than-were-making-ceo-tim-sweeney-says\/\"> diminishingly so<\/a>). Players seem generally weary of that pseudo-animated aesthetic, and a big reason why Marathon has seen what success it has is simply because it doesn&#8217;t look like any other shooter in this space.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, Night Street will have sufficient resources to give Last Flag a shot at longer-term success, although Mac Reynolds said to Bloomberg that &#8220;Raising money is one of the hardest and worst things to be doing in 2026 for any studio&#8221; meaning that &#8220;runway is going to be a challenge for everybody.&#8221; The game is currently having a free weekend to celebrate its launch, so if all of this has made you curious, you can grab the timed demo over on<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2721340\/Last_Flag\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"f417dd09-a60d-465c-aadf-e1b71b2fe4fe\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/last-flag-the-debut-game-from-the-studio-founded-by-imagine-dragons-lead-singer-becomes-the-latest-multiplayer-shooter-struggling-to-find-an-audience.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"f417dd09-a60d-465c-aadf-e1b71b2fe4fe\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/last-flag-the-debut-game-from-the-studio-founded-by-imagine-dragons-lead-singer-becomes-the-latest-multiplayer-shooter-struggling-to-find-an-audience\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If 2026 has taught us anything, it&#8217;s that convincing people to play your new multiplayer shooter is hard.
