Hi there!

Yes, Quixel is joining forces with Epic Games and here are some of the things you can expect, starting today:

- Better subscriptions, cheaper and with more downloadable content.
- Quixel Mixer and Quixel Bridge will become free, forever, for everyone! (You need to have an account, but it's free or at least I think so).
- Megascans will now be free for Unreal Engine users.
- Unreal Engine users will also be able to access a wealth of Megascans assets straight on the UE4 Marketplace.

Here is the full announcement:

In addition, they have said:
"Quixel Suite will no longer be supported or available for new users, if you have already purchased a perpetual Quixel Suite license, you can continue using it in your workflows, and we will continue to assist you with routine operational issues such as a change in your email or a license issue."

This sounds great... for Unreal users, hahaha. Seriously, I think it's good news, although on the other hand, if this continues, there will be no independent companies...
