    Flag Capture

    One flag and every car after it. Grab it, take the hits, steal it back and deliver it to the drop zone.

    • 2–8 cars
    • Solo · online
  • Street Race: two cars side by side under a magenta checkpoint arch.

    Street Race

    Sprint, Circuit, Drift or Drag through real streets. Draw your own route on the world map, checkpoint by checkpoint.

    • Sprint · Circuit · Drift · Drag
    • Your own route
    • Solo
  • Demolition: the yellow car striking another in a burst of sparks.

    Demolition

    No flag, only damage. Score for every hit in Wreck, or be the last car running as the ring closes in.

    • Wreck · Last Car Running
    • Solo · online
  • Hitzom: the yellow car on a green-lit street full of the dead.

    Hitzom

    The city is overrun. Run the dead down, chain the hits, shake off the ones that grab on, and bring down the behemoth.

Anywhere on Earth

Your street. Any street.

The places above are the ones we have tuned. Every other street on Earth is a search away: pick it on the world map and the game builds it from OpenStreetMap, in under a minute the first time.

The game's world map over Istanbul: the catalog's places lit in cyan on the city's streets, a list of districts beside it.

Pick it on the map

Zoom from the whole world into a city and onto any street, or type a place's name. The footprint shows what gets built; green means it is ready to drive.

The main menu's four neon mode cards over a night street, the yellow car driving out through a neon gate.

A garage on your own street

Put your garage anywhere. The game opens there: your car rolls out through a neon gate and cruises the neighbourhood until you take the wheel.

The route editor: a pink race route drawn over Beyoğlu's streets from START to FINISH, with checkpoints and its length.

Draw your own race

Click streets to lay a route, drag its line, undo, reverse it, then race it. The editor counts its length, checkpoints and turns.

City stamps

Ten neighbourhoods. One stamp.

Win a match in ten neighbourhoods of a city and its stamp is yours. Every update opens more streets: here is how far each city has come.

Garage & arsenal

Three cars. Nine tricks. Four nights out.

Light and quick to turn: the drifter.

    Questions

    Before you get in.

    Is Hitflag free?

    Yes. Hitflag is a free download for macOS and Windows while it grows. No account, no ads.

    What do I need to play?

    macOS 12 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, or Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A keyboard or a gamepad. The game updates itself.

    What can I play?

    Four modes. Flag Capture, free-for-all or two teams; Street Race: Sprint, Circuit, Drift and Drag, on routes you can draw yourself; Demolition: Wreck or Last Car Running; and Hitzom, where the city is overrun by the dead. Flag Capture and Demolition play online too.

    How do you steal the flag?

    Ram the car carrying it at 9 m/s or more. The flag is yours with four seconds of immunity, and the car you robbed waits eight seconds before it can take it back.

    How do you win?

    In Flag Capture, deliver the flag to the drop zone to score. First to three captures wins, or whoever leads when seven minutes run out; a tie goes to sudden death.

    Can I play with friends, or alone?

    Both. Two to eight cars, online anywhere or on your local network, free-for-all or two teams. Bots on easy, normal or hard fill every empty seat.

    Which cities can I drive?

    Istanbul (Cihangir & Beyoğlu, Nişantaşı, Kadıköy, Ataşehir), San Francisco (Russian Hill, Twin Peaks, Marina Ridge), Paris (Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre) and London (South Kensington), rebuilt from OpenStreetMap at one and a half times life size. Or any other street on Earth: pick it on the world map and the game builds it from OpenStreetMap.

    Is Hitflag on Steam?

    The Steam page is coming soon. Until then, download it here, or request a closed beta key to get new builds first.
