Wonder Interactive’s The Immersive Web will play Unreal 4 games on the web

Alex St. Louis, the founder of Wonder Interactive, has always dreamed of enabling high-end games like those built with the Unreal engine to run on the open web. And his company has built the platform to make it happen, and he calls it The Immersive Web.

St. Louis wants to get Unreal Engine 4 games, and eventually Unreal Engine 5 games, to run on the web.
