This news may certainly feel like deja vu since back in October Epic Games launched the Fab Marketplace replacing the Unreal Engine Marketplace, SketchFab store and Quixel Megascans with one unified store front. As part of the announcement they also made the Quixel MegaScans library free on Fab after a 1-click redemption process.
In the end however, Fab does not provide 100% of the functionality that existed on Quixel Megascans. As a direct result, Epic Games announced that Megascans and Quixel bridge would be returning. Until such time as Fab offers feature parity with Quixel Megascans you will be able to use the old interface. The problem is, it’s technically a different library of assets than the Quixel Fab assets. The good news is, the Quixel Megascans library is also available for free and there is now a 1-click redemption process for grabbing these assets too.
It is important you do this before the end of 2024 when the offer expires. Once redeemed the assets will be in your library forever. This is a separate library from the one you may have redeemed earlier on Fab, and it will not receive updates going forward. Therefore be sure to redeem the Quixel Megascans library on both Fab AND Quixel.com (or in Bridge) before Dec 31/2024!
