The $7.99 spider-fox platformer from Planet 47 Games costs nothing on the Epic Games Store until the promotion closes on August 13.

Spider Fox, an action 3D platformer that casts you as a half-spider, half-fox creature, is free to keep on the Epic Games Store for a limited window. The game normally sells for $7.99, and claiming it during the promotion adds it to your library permanently at no cost.

Quick answer: Open the Spider Fox page on the Epic Games Store, sign in, and select Get before August 13 at 05:00 PM. Once it appears in your library, it stays yours to keep.


How to claim Spider Fox for free on the Epic Games Store

Sign in to your Epic Games account, either in the desktop launcher or on the Epic Games Store website. You need a free account to keep any giveaway title.
Go to the Spider Fox store page and press the Get button, then complete the checkout at a $0.00 total. No payment method is required for a fully free claim.

Finish the claim before the cutoff on August 13 at 05:00 PM. After that time the promotion ends and the game returns to its regular price.

You will know the claim worked when Spider Fox shows up in your Epic Games library and can be installed. If the store still lists a price at checkout, the promotion has either not started for your region or has already ended, so recheck the page.


What Spider Fox is

Spider Fox first arrived in 2024 from indie studio Planet 47 Games. It carries a 96% positive user review score, though only a small number of reviews have been logged so far.

The premise explains the odd protagonist. A mad scientist has fused together various animals into strange hybrids, and the spider-fox hero uses its Spider-Man-style abilities to rescue them and undo the spell binding them. You can shoot webs, swing, and latch onto surfaces while wearing the head of a fox.

It reads as a cozy platformer built around rescuing animals, but combat still appears. Enemies are usually non-living threats such as hostile snowmen and robots, so the fighting avoids harming the animals you are trying to save.
