Dan Reynolds’ Last Flag Shelves Console Plans as Player Numbers Stall
Dan Reynolds’ multiplayer game Last Flag has dropped its console plans after weak PC player numbers. Night Street Games says future development is limited, with focus shifting to patches, persistent lobbies, and community-led play.
Last Flag, the online multiplayer game co-created by Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, has canceled its planned console release after failing to build enough momentum on PC.
Announced last year, the game launched in April on Steam and the Epic Games Store through Night Street Games, the studio Reynolds founded with his brother Mac Reynolds. The project leaned into a modern capture-the-flag format, with a soundtrack built by Dan Reynolds alongside Imagine Dragons guitarist Wayne Sermon, songwriter JT Daly, and singer Marcos Issaak.
Even with promotion across Imagine Dragons’ social channels, the game struggled to hold an audience. According to SteamDB figures cited by the team, its peak concurrent player count reached 558. In the last 24 hours, that number reportedly topped out at 48, with single-digit players online at certain points.
In a message shared on the game’s official Discord, Mac Reynolds addressed the slowdown directly, saying players tracking the charts already knew the game had not found the audience needed to support the experience the team wanted to deliver. He added that the studio’s financial reality makes further development unlikely beyond upcoming patches, including console versions for now.
He also stressed that support is not disappearing entirely. “Last Flag isn’t going anywhere,” Mac wrote, adding that the team intends to keep the game accessible for the existing community.
A follow-up update on Steam said development priorities are shifting toward replayability tools and community-led play, including persistent lobbies and custom rule sets inspired by games such as GoldenEye, Team Fortress 2, and Super Smash Bros. The message framed the move as a handoff rather than a shutdown: keep the servers active, give players more control, and let the community carry the game forward.
The pivot lands just weeks after launch and marks a quick change in scope for Night Street Games’ debut title.
In related shooter news, the official Call of Duty X account has confirmed that 2026’s mainline Call of Duty release will skip PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, ending a 13-year run of cross-generation support on those platforms.
