Ported2Browser lists 290+ browser games, from Hollow Knight to NFS Underground 2

Ported2Browser now lists more than 290 games that run straight in a browser tab, with nothing to install. Hollow Knight is on it, so are GTA: Vice City, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Warcraft II, Worms: Open Warfare 2 and the Zombies mode from Call of Duty: Black Ops. The site itself neither hosts nor runs any of them. It is a directory that links out to each port's own page, which is also why some entries don't last: publishers keep pulling browser versions of their games, and GTA and Call of Duty have both been through it already.

What the directory is and how fast it grew

Ported2Browser was set up by an enthusiast who goes by BrowserBoy, and it has grown quickly. The Web Archive shows a Coming soon page on September 15, then 124 games by October 1, 49 of them from Windows and 13 from DOS. By mid-October it passed 200, and VGTimes now counts more than 290. Close to half the list is PC games. The rest are consoles, anything from the NES and Game Boy up to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360.

"Port" covers very different things here, and the directory labels them honestly: emulator, recompilation (the game's code rebuilt for the browser, usually faster than emulation), fan game, romhack or work in progress. A separate icon flags known problems, and you can filter by platform, genre and controls: keyboard, gamepad or touchscreen. One annoyance is that since mid-October the site only lets you in after a "verify you're human" check.

Need for Speed Underground 2 in a browser: 120 FPS and a shared city

The loudest arrival of the past few days is Underground 2 Revived. Another directory, RetroInBrowser, added it on October 27 and it went straight to the top of its popular list. This is a recompilation, not emulation. The developer, th0mk, built on Talha Müderrisoğlu's NFSU2Recomp: the 2004 PC game's x86 code is translated to C and compiled to WebAssembly, with Direct3D 9 drawn through WebGPU. The listing promises up to 120 FPS, wheel and gamepad support, a shared free roam city and online races with no account. The player recording above shows how it actually runs.

You need a browser with WebGPU: the site is tested on Chrome 140 or newer and Firefox 145 or newer. Game data streams in as you play, and the optional preload is about 2 GB without the movies. Saves live in the browser itself and can be wiped when the disk fills up, so download a backup.

There is a catch. The README on GitHub says you need your own copy of the game, version 1.2 with one specific SPEED2.EXE. The hosted site, on the other hand, serves EA's game data to anyone who shows up. Sites like that are exactly the ones publishers go after first.

Why links in these directories vanish

The examples are recent. In December 2025, Take-Two told DOS Zone to take down its browser GTA: Vice City, a reworked version of the game's engine for the web. A site called playgta5, which offered GTA 5 in a browser, got DMCA claims from Rockstar in early October and went offline, according to HotHardware, and nobody ever explained how it worked. Then on October 11, developer Luckey Faraday said Activision had taken down his browser recreations of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and its Zombies mode.

I'd treat directories like this as a showcase of what a browser can do in 2026 rather than a free game library. The ports that tend to survive ask for your own game files, and fan games inspired by the classics draw far less fire from publishers. Also, never type a Steam or any other login into a port site. They have no reason to ask for it.
