Capture the Flag Gets a Sci-Fi Makeover in ‘Flag Games,’ Available Now for Preorder

Capture the flag has a long and storied history in video games, often providing the framework for competitive battles as players attack one another’s bases, working together to execute strategies of attack and defense. Flag Games takes all that tactical thinking and puts it into a campaign of battles you can face either alone or with a friend on Meta Quest.

Flag Games is a cooperative shooter in which you and your team fight to capture the flag — battling through sci-fi facilities filled with hostile defenders. You’ve got just one goal: grab the flag and escape the facility. Once you’ve reached the flag, speed becomes as important as strategy, because enemies will stream in from everywhere in the facility, intent on stopping you at all costs.

Expect those battles and escapes to be both intense and unpredictable, thanks to Flag Games’ low-gravity battlefields. The drop in gravity means you’ll need to think in multiple directions as firefights take place in full 3D. Skillful movement is essential to survival, and you’ll face overwhelming odds, especially as you try to escape with the flag.

Luckily, you’ll unlock powerful weapons as you make your way through locations, like a sun-baked solar plant or a flotilla of drifting airships, that can help you survive, whether you’re playing alone or with friends.

Flag Games is set to bring its campaign of high-intensity capture-the-flag battles to Meta Quest soon, and you can preorder it now on the Meta Horizon Store and grab a 25% discount.
