HOW TO FIX BRIDGE MISSING
Go to the Epic Games Launcher
Go to Library
Scroll down to Vault
Search for “Bridge”
Click on install and install to 5.0
Check if it is installed in plugins in UE Editor
Under the cube icon there should be Quixel Bridge
Enjoy 
If you’re doing a fresh production install of UE5 there is no Bridge in Vault or Plugins.
Ty for that. The one place I did not look. lol
I am also experiencing this issue as a new Unreal user. I have tried many things but have been unsuccessful. Hopefully a patch comes soon!
I had UE5 installed on a secondary drive, but after reinstalling it onto the C drive everything showed up… I hope this helps.
The problem for new users has been resolved.
If Quixel Bridge isn’t showing up, please make sure your launcher is up to date and then search for Quixel Bridge and install it to your Engine version.
Thanks! 
I just updated my launcher and it still isn’t returning anything in the vault.
Sent a PM to save the thread
Is there must be update for the launcher with this fix?
I didn’t get any updates even after reinstalling the launcher…
Version is still the same: 14.0.2-19620145. Nothing changed for me 
The change itself didn’t require a launcher update to be pushed to the community. However, it ensured that you were on the latest version since the UE5 launch. Have you restarted the launcher and attempted searching for Quixel Bridge directly in your vault?
This did not work for me. I completely uninstalled and re-installed Epic Launcher and Unreal Engine 5 after your update, all latest version available to me (14.0.2-19620145) , and no luck. I do not see it in my vault.
Same like AlexChopjian
The team did mention that a few might have slipped through the manual process. Could you PM me with your EpicID/email so we can look into this for you?
And for anyone else that might come across this, please make sure to restart your launcher and attempt to find Quixel Bridge in your vault before reaching out via PM with the above information
Thanks!
I think the whole problem is in the standalone Quixel Bridge application. I have the current version which is 2022.0.1 (btw UE5 Bridge plugin has version 2022.0.2 but the application is 0.1, strange no?) and if I select Export Settings in the Bridge standalone application, there is no UE5 Plugin Location option, only UE4.27 and lower versions
The issue was to do with entitlement when it came to fresh/new installations. This has since been resolved, but for those already affected, it requires installing Quixel Bridge to the Engine from your vault. However, there are still a few that haven’t been able to go through that process, in which case we will have to look at those accounts individually
For me the Bridge plugin shows up in UE5, my problem is the standalone Bridge app which seems to be up to date but there is no option to set the path for the UE5 plugin (only UE4.27 and earlier). So I can’t send meshes and textures from Bridge to UE5, they are not linked.
You don’t need to use seperate Bridge app for UE5, check out latest messages and screenshots in this topic.
You can find Bridge integrated in menu of engine if you are successfully enable it in plugins menu in your UE5.
Yeah but I can’t login to my Bridge account inside UE5:
Failed to load URL Epic Games with error ERR_CONNECTION_RESET (-101).
Hi, I downloaded UE5 and I’m trying to get Quixel content and option and it doesn’t show up I download Quixel Bridge but still nothing. When I right click on content browser and scroll down to Create Advanced assets the Add Quixel Content option is not there, Please if someone can help me. Thank you
Well… Maybe there is some network problem. Did you tried to use VPN or any other log-in method?
