Epic Games’ Fab marketplace, which is designed to serve as a unified place to get digital assets like environments and animations, is now live, the company announced today. The launch of the marketplace is an important step in Epic’s plans to make it easier for developers to acquire assets for developing games — and, maybe someday, to let them make content for an interoperable metaverse.
The company first revealed its plans for Fab — which will combine offerings from the Unreal Engine Marketplace, Sketchfab Store, Quixel, and ArtStation Marketplace into one place — in March 2023. While Epic initially planned to launch Fab in 2023, the company later delayed the launch to 2024.
Epic is offering an 88 percent revenue share for goods sold on Fab, matching the revenue share it offers developers on the Epic Games Store. Ahead of the launch, Epic has allowed creators to prepare their Unreal Engine Marketplace and Sketchfab products to be available on Fab. (According to Epic, ArtStation Marketplace will “continue operating as it does today,” but the company plans to let ArtStation users bring over their content to Fab in 2025.)
Epic is also sharing some plans about updates to come for Fab. Perhaps most notable is that the company is reiterating that it plans to add support for offering Roblox and Minecraft assets. Epic also plans to let people access its hyperrealistic MetaHumans on Fab.
