What a huge leap forward for 3D on the web.

This would definitely represent a new source of ad revenue for Google, which of course is always the goal... not to mention a way to further engage its users.

Yeah, but Chrome has 10 times as many users than Edge...

This port uses WebGL. There are no games out there yet that are using WebGPU in production, it's only available in Origin Trial. It goes live by default in Chrome February 2023.

Wonder if Apple TV+ will get it's own VR treatment..?

Imagine sitting inside an immersive theatre and tuning in to films and TV shows with family and friends on a 8k display...

I'm sure Microsoft would be eyeing them up, if not for their pending Activision-Blizzard purchase. Have to digest dinner before you get dessert, after all..

Curious, why doesn't Epic try to go the open web route, utilizing technologies like WebAssembly and WebGPU to enable cross-platform games and 3D apps through the Safari browser? It would allow them to circumvent Apple's walled garden ecosystem, while offering developers an alternative route for distribution that doesn't require a lofty 30% fee while still reaching iOS users.

Seems like a no brainer to me.
