My team (third party) has developed WebGPU support for Unreal Engine 5, along with an asset-streaming system that solves the large download, multi-gigabyte game in your webpage issue by only loading in what a player needs to see at any given moment. It's constantly loading and unloading data, which helps tremendously with memory management.

WebGPU is going to usher in a new era of web games, the biggest benefit being compute shaders which have never before been possible inside the browser.

This was cool (spacelancers didn't work in Arc but did in Chrome, forest demo 403's) - audio and fullscreen fail because they aren't initiated by a user gesture. Impressive how quick it is to get into a game with this level of fidelity, normally you'd need several minutes of downloading.

It loaded, but "work" is a stretch. It was a multiple second lag to react to input. Very choppy.

Aw neither works on iOS 18.2
