Link: Epic’s ambitious digital asset shop is now open

Epic Games' new Fab marketplace is now operational to unify digital asset acquisitions like environments and animations. This is part of Epic's strategy to simplify game development and pave the way for a cohesive metaverse.

The platform aggregates offerings from various sources including Unreal Engine Marketplace, Sketchfab Store, Quixel, and ArtStation Marketplace. Initial plans for a 2023 launch were delayed, with the new schedule set for 2024.

Creators receive an 88 percent revenue share from sales on Fab, aligning with the terms on the Epic Games Store. Epic allowed select creators early access to prepare and transition their products to Fab.

While ArtStation Marketplace continues as is for now, integration into Fab is expected by 2025. This will allow ArtStation users to migrate their content seamlessly.

Epic is ambitious about Fab's expansion, including future support for Roblox and Minecraft assets. The company also plans to integrate its advanced MetaHumans into Fab.

Overall, Epic is setting significant milestones for Fab in enhancing digital asset sharing and development collaborations. This is crucial for both developers and the broader vision of a digital ecosystem. #
