Mozilla added Unreal Engine 3 support to Firefox back in March 2013, so it&#8217;s no surprise the updated game engine is also compatible.<\/p>\n<p>The demo that Mozilla posted on their YouTube channel shows the latest iteration of the Unreal Engine running at &#8220;near-native speeds&#8221; without the use of plugins. This is particularly good news for web developers, who won&#8217;t need to get Firefox users to download anything before their impressive 3D in-browser games can be played.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just 3D games that Unreal Engine 4 will support in Firefox: basic 2D animations for platforming games are also possible, as shown by Unreal&#8217;s Swing Ninja demo. The aim for integrating the Unreal Engine 4 in Firefox is to create in-browser games that are &#8220;almost indistinguishable&#8221; from those that you &#8220;have had to wait to download and install&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla will be at the Game Developer&#8217;s Conference next week to show more of Unreal Engine 4 in Firefox. Meanwhile, PC gamers and PlayStation 4 owners will be able to get their first taste of an Unreal Engine 4-powered game in April, when survival horror game Daylight is launched.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/55979-unreal-engine-4-support-added-to-firefox-without-plugins.html\">Unreal Engine 4 support added to Firefox without plugins &#8211; TechSpot<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla and Epic Games have teamed up to bring Unreal Engine 4 to Firefox, expanding on the various graphics libraries [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9,10],"tags":[151,327,369,1127,1191],"class_list":["post-5113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-software","category-technology","tag-browser","tag-epic-games","tag-firefox","tag-unreal-engine","tag-web-browser"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/papNkV-1kt","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8660,"url":"https:\/\/nccomputertech.com\/techtalk\/2015\/10\/09\/firefox-will-stop-supporting-plugins-by-end-of-2016-following-chromes-lead-pcworld\/","url_meta":{"origin":5113,"position":0},"title":"Firefox will stop supporting plugins by end of 2016, following Chrome&#8217;s lead","author":"NCCT","date":"October 9, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Google Chrome recently dumped support for plugins such as Java and Silverlight, and now it\u2019s Firefox\u2019s turn.
