Chrome Beta 94 adds new test features to help improve the cloud gaming experience
In recent years, there have been more and more web-based cloud gaming services, so the optimization of cloud gaming by different browsers is also one of the factors that will affect the player’s gaming experience. And recently in the Chrome Beta 94 beta, Google has added some new specifications to Chrome that can make the cloud gaming experience on the web better, including the WebCodecs to be released and the experimental WebGPU.
As for the experimental WebGPU, it is a native graphics API interface that allows the browser to connect to the user’s computer, such as DX 12, Vulkan, etc that allows developers to make better use of the performance of the player’s computer, which can be said to be a next-generation version of the existing WebGL. In the future, WebGPU can also make it easier for developers to make games that require more GPU but can also run on web pages.
These two new features are good, but users also need to wait for a while before they can really use them, because WebCodecs will be launched, but developers need to adapt their applications, and WebGPU is even more important. The test will not end until early 2022.
