THE ROAD IS YOUR PLAYGROUND

FAMILIAR ASPHALT.
FRESH CHAOS.

No closed circuit. A living Dutch motorway.

Traffic has no regard for your racing line. The police are on your tail, and an innocent patch of roadworks can become a very bad idea at full speed. Want a proper grid? Early Access lets you race against up to five CPU opponents, each with their own car, pace and driving style.

Rain lashes your windscreen; puddles reflect the headlights. There is little else to learn: accelerate, brake, steer. Keyboard or controller, both work beautifully.

WHY POLDERBURN EXISTS

FROM A2 RACER MEMORIES
TO A NEW DUTCH GAME.

Polderburn began with pure nostalgia and the desire to make a truly Dutch racing game again.

The familiar world of Davilex’s A2 Racer and the freedom of Burnout Paradise are the inspiration. Creator Danny de Kruijk’s background in web development makes the challenge even more exciting: how cool would it be to play a full game like this right in your browser?

FIVE STAGES

FROM THE POLDERS
TO THE CITY CENTRE.

Almost sixty kilometres of the Netherlands across five stages. From motorways, polders and bridges to a new city race through Amsterdam. The images below come straight from the game.

YOUR RACE. YOUR WAY.

THE SAME ROUTE.
A DIFFERENT WORLD.

Race through Amsterdam under the city lights, brave an autumn downpour on the A2 or speed past snow-covered fields. You choose the time of day, weather and season.

BEFORE YOU GO FLAT OUT

WILL IT RUN ON YOUR LAPTOP?

Polderburn renders everything live in your browser and puts your GPU to work. The right browser and a few settings go a long way.

Short answer: Chrome or Edge, and a laptop from the last few years.

The Polderburn settings screen with automatic detection, FSR and dynamic resolution
The settings screen configures itself for your laptop. You can always adjust it.

Not running smoothly?

First, press Auto-configure; this chooses a starting point for your display and GPU. If that is not enough, try these in order:

  1. Target framerateSet it to what your display can actually achieve. The default is 90 FPS; aiming above your refresh rate does not help.
  2. Dynamic resolutionEnabled by default. It lowers resolution when frames take too long, then raises it when there is headroom. Render resolution is the ceiling, not a fixed value.
  3. UpscalingSwitch from FSR Quality to Balanced or Performance. The game renders at a lower resolution and upscales, saving considerable work with little visible difference.
  4. Individual effectsAs a last step: set shadows to Medium and turn off reflections and ambient occlusion.
