Unreal Engine 5 can now run in a web browser

Cookiewall, Paywall and German. Needs a better link

Yes, I am wondering if this post contains any new information not previously discussed.

Also it is not the first time they have posted a similar related post to it [0]

Their previous justification for the dupe was:

> It has more context and information, that would be beneficial to HN users.

Which I believe could have been added as supplementary comments in their first popular thread instead of posting 3 different threads on the same general topic.

That's the old UE4 web target, which Epic deprecated way back in 2019. OP is about a new UE5 web target developed by a third party rather than Epic themselves.

the docs regarding HTML export is very old as that feature is unsupported by Unreal Engine since UE4 days. They abandoned web export basically, because the features they needed did not exist on the web platform back then. The post is about a 3rd party attempt to bring those experiences to web through the use of WebGPU - Unreal Engine 5 by itself does not support it (yet, if ever).
