The Verge penned an article a few months back that mentions WebGPU and hinting at the impact it will have on next-generation 3D browser games.

Chrome 99, which is scheduled for January 26, 2022, will enable WebGPU support. Our team is bringing Unreal Engine back to the browser, with support from 4.24 all the way up to the latest release, and we're currently building out support for targeting WebGPU. Enabling developers to be able to fully tap into a user's hardware will enable a whole new era of games and real-time 3D webapps. Super excited!
