It depends on the context. Could you write a sentence with it?

I just saw it by itself on Duolingo. It said it meant "give up on", but I'd never seen that before. Is that one possible translation?
- Portuguese (Brazil)
"Give up on" is correct, but there are other possibilities. It can mean drop out, leave, let go, get out, abandon, etc. 😄

It can also mean when we finish work and it's kinda the time to leave.

Eu larguei aquele projeto. I've given up on that project.
Eu vou te largar de lado.I'll give up on you. (Because someone is hopeless, and you don't feel like wasting your time and energy with them anymore.)
Larga de ser idiota! (Stop being an idiot!)This frase is rude.
When used referring to people, largar has a implicit negative meaning. Something that is "largado/a" is a thing that someone abandoned in a place that is not suitable for that end. Like:
As crianças largaram os brinquedos no chão.
The kids left the toys all over the floor.
Ele largou a esposa.
He left her wife.
Hope this helps.
