Underground 2 Revived browser port supports 3,000 players

A fan project called Underground 2 Revived released in late October, bringing Need for Speed: Underground 2 to Chrome and Firefox browsers. The developer, th0mk, used WebAssembly and WebGPU to make the 2004 racer playable via a website. The port includes the original story mode, car roster, tuning, and the open city of Bayview.

The project supports widescreen play at up to 120 FPS, along with controllers, racing wheels, and touchscreens. Players can save progress between sessions by selecting Save in the garage. While the project is an unofficial fan work with no affiliation with EA, it supports online free roam for up to 3,000 players. At the time of reporting, 2,194 players were in free roam and 402 were in races or lobbies.
