The Map Game just became the centerpiece of GeoFlag.

When you start a round now, you no longer drop onto a flat map. You begin on the 3D globe, and the camera dives, sweeping down through the atmosphere and settling onto a living, photoreal Earth. Real satellite terrain becomes the board you play on, the same gorgeous world you explore in Study Mode. Study it and play it on one continuous planet.

It is the cinematic entrance the Map Game always wanted, and it turns a quiz into an expedition.

Switch the play surface between three looks anytime, from a photoreal satellite Earth to a clean classic map, your choice remembered next time.

Also in this update:

  • The Map Game and Study Mode now share one living Earth.

  • US States plays on the new surface too.

  • A cinematic globe-to-ground fly-in opens every round.

  • Smoother framing, zoom, and pacing throughout.

Playable right now in the free demo. Steam Next Fest starts June 15, and we will see you there.

Set out, explorer.
