Last year we announced that Quixel Megascans would eventually be moving to Fab, Epic’s new digital marketplace. Our team is excited about the future, and we’re committed to supporting our community in developing breathtaking projects and experiences.
Ahead of Fab’s launch in October, we wanted to share some details on all that’s changing for you.
What’s changing when Fab launches in mid-October?
- Megascans will be available for purchase exclusively on Fab. When Fab launches, you won’t get new additions to the Megascans library from Quixel.com or Bridge. Instead, you will get those on Fab.com, and via Fab integrations in UE (5.3 and beyond) and UEFN.
- All Megascans content that you downloaded under a paid subscription will automatically appear in your Fab library, once you log in with the same Epic account that you use for Quixel.
- Any Megascans content that you got for free via Unreal Engine can be downloaded anew from Fab.
- All Megascans will be free until the end of 2024 under Fab’s Standard License.
- In 2025, Megascans will switch to Fab’s paid content model based on dollar values rather than points (more details on pricing are included below). This change will also apply to Unreal Engine plan users. We will make sure you can still enjoy some free Megascans content, so keep an eye out for it!
- You will continue to have access to MetaHumans on Bridge.
- If you have an eligible points balance, you can request a refund or request that your points balance be converted into Epic Wallet credit. You will see this option on Bridge desktop and Quixel.com.
What’s staying the same when Fab launches:
- If you have previously-acquired Megascans, you will still be able to access them from Quixel.com and Bridge for the foreseeable future. Any new purchases that you make on Fab.com will not appear on Quixel.com or Bridge.
- You can continue accessing MetaHumans through Quixel Bridge.
- If you currently have a custom Studio license, your access to Quixel tools and services will continue according to our agreement.
What’s not changing today:
- You can still access Megascans through Quixel.com and Bridge.
- If you access Megascans for free via Unreal Engine, nothing is changing at this time.
- If you currently have a custom Studio license, your access to Quixel tools and services will continue according to our agreement.
What’s changing today:
- If you currently have a legacy, Personal or Indie Quixel subscription and have it set to auto-renew, auto-renew will be deactivated from this point forward. You will not be charged again for your subscription. You will, however, continue to have access to Megascans on Quixel.com and Bridge.
- We are discontinuing the Quixel points program. When Fab launches, if you have a balance of eligible points on your account, you will be able to request a points conversion to Epic Wallet or request a refund.
- All Megascans are now available for free on Bridge and Quixel.com under the Epic Content License, until Fab launches. If you wish to get new Megascans, any points balance that you have will not be impacted.
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
If you still have questions or run into unexpected problems, please reach out to our support team.
We appreciate you being a part of the Quixel community and can’t wait to see you on Fab.
