Unreal Engine 5 comes with a new feature called Game Features Plugins allowing for modular and standalone game content. The Lyra Starter game already uses this feature extensively to create modular game modes such as the Control point and the Team deathmatch.
This plugin is a standalone Capture the Flag game mode that can be added to the Lyra Starter Game without any changes to the core content of the project.
