Can I use assets, materials, megascans from quixel commercially?

I am making a game, and I was wondering If I could use stuff I find on the built in Quixel menu in UE5.
To My understanding:

  • Usually you couldn’t use quixel content commercially unless you pay for a license.
  • You can commertially use any content you want from Quixel if you link it with your epic account ( which I have done ) without having to pay for a license.
  • You can modify the models outside of unreal but it can only be used commertially in unreal.

What I would like to know:

-Do I have the correct understanding of how this works.

-If I perhaps don’t want to release the game AS A GAME on any platform but instead opt for uploading the base files on a site ( ex. Itch ) and having people buy and download it that way, am I still allowed to use it commertially. ((What I am trying to ask is if I have to release the game on a platform that is linked with Quixel like the Epic Games Store or not))

Thanks to anyone for answering in advance :slight_smile:
