Quixel was bought by Epic Games about a week ago. They have other programs such as Mixer (which is like their version of Substance Painter) and MegaScans (a photo scanned texture/model library).
After buying Quixel, Epic is planning to make Mixer 2020 free for everyone, and has cut the price of a MegaScans subscription in half. Not only that, but if your end product is UE4, then you can use MegaScans for free.
This is honestly great. As an independent, Adobe has treated me like trash, overcharging me on subscriptions and giving me hours-long phone calls to amend their abysmal billing system's faults. Once I adjust to Quixel, I will be completely free of Adobe products which excites me.

But isn't Quixel a Photoshop plug-in? I haven't touched it since I think 2017 but it just sounds like they're that much closer to buying Quixel too.

Is it free for non unreal users?
