Quixel to Fab Transition FAQs

What is Fab?

Fab is a new marketplace from Epic Games where you can discover, buy, sell and share assets all in one place. It will unify Quixel, Sketchfab, Unreal Engine Marketplace, and, eventually, ArtStation Marketplace into one site that brings the best content, product features, and underlying tech together in service of creators. Creators from games, VFX, animation, simulation, design, architecture, fashion and many other industries will come together on Fab, creating a massive, diverse community of sellers and buyers. Fab offers an expansive library of high-quality digital assets from studios, brands, and independent digital artists who will benefit from an 88% revenue share. Learn more at Fab.com.

What kind of content is available on Fab?

Fab offers Unreal Engine and Unity game engine formats as well as numerous 3D formats. As Fab continues to develop, the list of supported formats will expand to include 2D assets for game engines, environments, audio, tools, plugins in multiple formats, Minecraft and Roblox assets.

How can I claim free Megascans on Fab?

With one click on this new page, you can claim over 17,000 Megascans, including 10 packs with brand new scene files from Quixel, until the end of 2024. These assets can be used in any tool or engine according to the Fab Standard License agreement.

Why are some Megascans missing from Fab that were available in the Quixel library?

We’re working on bringing most Megascans assets to Fab – many are there now and more will be added over the coming weeks. However, some displacements and older assets from Quixel that no longer meet our high-quality standards have been discontinued. These assets will no longer be available to download.

How can I get Quixel Megascans from Fab under a custom license?

Please contact us here if you would like to discuss custom licensing terms for Megascans.

What’s happening to Quixel Mixer?

Mixer will remain free for individuals and teams. In the future, we plan to release a final version of Mixer that features an updated asset library, replacing the current online Megascans library in the existing version of Mixer. Please note that this release will not include any additional feature updates or improvements.

How do I export Megascans from Fab to other digital content creation (DCC) tools?

At the moment, Fab does not offer one-click export functionality or DCC integrations the way that Quixel Bridge does. To use Megascans in any DCCs and tools, simply download the assets from Fab.com and import them into your software of choice.

Where can I find my MetaHuman assets after Fab launches?

You can continue to access MetaHuman assets through Bridge, regardless of when they were created. There are no changes to this process at present, and it continues to work as described in the MetaHuman documentation.

What happens to Quixel subscriptions?

Effective September 17, 2024, automatic renewal of paid Quixel subscriptions was discontinued. After Fab’s launch, paying Quixel subscribers can convert to Epic Wallet credit or refund any eligible paid points balances.
Quixel annual subscriptions were discontinued as of March 27, 2023.

How much will Megascans cost on Fab?

Starting in 2025, you will no longer be able to purchase Megascans with points. Instead, they will be priced as follows:
  • Standalone 2D and 3D assets starting at $0.99 USD
  • Asset packs starting at $24.99 USD
  • Procedural asset kits starting at $4.99 USD

Where can I find my Megascans assets after Fab launches?

Everything you have acquired on Quixel.com or Bridge continues to be available to you on Quixel.com and Bridge. Your Megascans may also appear on Fab, if certain conditions are met—read more on that below.
Please note that Quixel.com and Bridge will eventually be sunset. When that happens, if you wish to have continued access to those assets, we recommend that you download them onto a local disk so that you can continue to use them. We will alert you in advance of any change to the Quixel.com and Bridge services.

What license(s) apply to Megascans that I got on Quixel.com or Bridge?

Any assets that you previously added to your Quixel account or downloaded from Quixel.com or Bridge will still be governed by the license that was in place when you got those assets. So you’re allowed to use previously downloaded Megascans assets in your past, current and future projects under the license terms that were in place when those assets were acquired.

Will my Megascans from Quixel.com or Bridge transfer over to Fab?

If you acquired Megascans under paid subscription plans, they are now available in your Fab library under the Fab Personal and Professional Standard License tiers. The Fab Standard License has been granted in addition to the license that was in place when you purchased the assets through Quixel.com or Bridge. So even though your legacy Quixel license is not visible on Fab, if you download these assets from Fab, you may still use them according to the terms of the legacy Quixel license.
If you acquired the assets for free via the Unreal Engine subscription plan or under a free trial of a Quixel plan, they have not been automatically transferred over to Fab. From Fab’s launch until the end of 2024, you may download Megascans—both those you may have acquired in the past and those that may be new to you—for free from Fab. With one click on this new page, you can claim over 17,000 Megascans, including 10 packs with brand new scene files from Quixel, until the end of 2024. Once you claim these assets, you will be entitled to use these under the terms of the Fab Standard License even after the free promotion period ends.
Assets acquired under the Quixel Education program or Quixel Studio license have not automatically transferred to Fab. Details on the future of the Quixel Education program are provided in one of the responses below. For queries related to Quixel Studio licenses, reach out here.

Will my Megascans on Bridge and Quixel.com get updates after Fab launches?

Megascans assets that you have on Bridge and Quixel.com after Fab launches will not receive updates. Megascans on Fab may receive updates, however. (Not sure if your Megascans will automatically transfer over to Fab? Take a look at the question above.)

Do I get access to free Megascans forever on Fab?

From Fab’s launch until the end of 2024, you can get Megascans for free under Fab’s Standard License (claim them all with one click). Any Megascans that you claim during this promotional period you will be entitled to use for free even after this promotion ends.

How long will I be able to access my past acquisitions on Quixel.com or Bridge?

You will be able to access past acquisitions through the Purchased/Acquired tab on Quixel.com or Bridge until those apps are sunset. We will alert you in advance of any changes.

What happens to the Quixel Education program?

The Quixel Education program was discontinued effective October 22, 2024. This means we are no longer accepting new applications for the Quixel Education program. If you were subscribed to the Quixel Education program, you can continue accessing Megascans via the usual method and can reach out to us if you need to renew your offline license file. But please note that Bridge will eventually be sunset.
The assets made available to you under the Quixel Education program will remain governed by the Epic Content License, meaning your usage rights won’t change despite the program’s discontinuation.
