Web games can match native speed, dev shows in side-by-side video: WASM and WebGPU are the only real gaps
gdechichi · x · 2026-09-25
Developer gdechichi posted a demo showing a game running at essentially the same speed in the browser as in native builds, pushing back on the "the web is just slow" excuse. Answering skepticism about the comparison hardware, he notes the browser has access to the same GPU and core count as native code, and identifies only two real gaps: WASM isn't yet as fast as native assembly, and WebGPU lacks some modern graphics API features. His claim: 9 times out of 10, slow web games are just slow code, not platform limits.
