Publishing UE 5 to HTML

Hi guys, I'd like to ask a basic question. Is there any plugin or method (now or coming in the near future) that can render a UE production with full interactivity etc in HTML and a browser?   I know UE 4 had HTML 5 publishing and am curious as to why this didn't evolve?  Did it have too many bugs?  Regards,

Really dude? Don't you know UE5 is damn heavy and won't run on browsers properly. Even if made to run, UE5 projects are bit too large in size to be considered as a browser game. Someone's daily data could exhaust just by loading your page, and would too much time to load.... (Change my mind)

Did you ever start learning something by asking questions "dude"?    Great and helpful reply dude - next time don't answer.

if it wasn't to answer, Why did you even made a topic ?

"DUDE".

I'm just joking don't take it seriously, have a wonderful day bringing your UE5 game to browser...

Well maybe you should think how about how your replies come across - something to think of huh?

AFAIK it also doesn’t have support for the subset of OpenGL that web browsers can run (or any form of OpenGL at all xD). Even if it did or they added it in the future, nearly all of the features that make UE5 what it is wouldn’t be possible on such versions of OpenGL.

thanks I will keep researching 

Where's your game?

That's not correct, UE5 does support GLES 3.2

Starting from 4.24 native support has dropped, but you can still use it as an extension:

Just as a very important side note: That link is for UE4, but people claim that it works on UE5 (I never tried) with limited resources
