Last Flag came out not too long ago on PC, but the Steam player count for the game has been less-than-stellar. The player count for the game was lower than Concord, despite the game costing only $11.99 for Steam users.
Due to the game’s poor reception, developer Night Street Games has posted on Steam a sad message for the future of Last Flag. The Xbox and PS versions have been canceled, plus addtional development for the game has been halted. Check out the announcement below.
We’ve been so honored by the positive reviews and incredible support from our players in this first month of launch. Making Last Flag has been a dream come true for our team. Although our player count is not currently where we need it to be to support additional development beyond our upcoming planned patches, we are shifting our focus to make sure those updates give tons of value and control to our players so the game can continue to thrive and grow.
Over the next few months, you can look forward to a new character, a new map, a brand new game mode, cosmetics, leaderboards, and new rulesets you can use to modify custom game lobbies. Our focus will shift to replayability, community support, and empowering our players to write the next chapter of Last Flag with persistent lobbies and unique game rules inspired by some of the games we love like GoldenEye, Team Fortress 2, and Super Smash Bros. We don’t want to kill our game – we want to give it to the community who helped us get here.
Thank you for the awesome matches, the feedback, and the many words of support. Our game belongs to you now, and we hope to continue capturing flags with you for years to come. In the meantime, we’ll see you on the battlefield–and we hope you’ll tune in for what comes next from Night Street Games.

Night Street Games was founded by Dan Reynolds who is the singer for Imagine Dragons. Despite the band’s popularity, advertising was poor for Last Flag as not many people have heard of the game. It also highlights the challenges developers now face releasing live service games in this current landscape.
