Show HN: Unreal Engine 5 in WebGPU

Great to see more projects actually battle testing WebGPU. I've been working on porting an existing engine to WebGPU and personally I think it's one of the worst GPU APIs I have had the pleasure of working with. Perhaps if we see more practical real-world use-cases with real feedback we'll see some improvement in a later update.

Agreed, most studios would want to see maturity of the API, and that initial issues are ironed out.

I’d hazard a guess that WebGPU is going to usher in a new golden era of browser games, especially now that features such as compute shaders are on the table.

I seriously doubt it, WebGL 2.0 so far failed to deliver something like Infinity Blade from 2011, the flagship game of iOS mobile gaming with OpenGL ES 3.0.
