PC gamers can currently pick up yet another free title to add to their gaming libraries. Those who play on PC have access to multiple storefronts, which often hand out free titles to allow gamers to bolster their libraries at no cost.
Gamers certainly aren’t struggling for free game promotions at the moment. There are several games currently active in Steam’s Free to Keep promotion, which often hands out titles from smaller developers and leads to plenty of hidden gems. Other options include the likes of Itch.io and the Epic Games Store, the latter of which has a regular weekly promotion which often features more recognizable titles. It’s proof that gamers willing to branch out can always find interesting free games to play on PC.
Epic Games Store Officially Reveals Its June 18 Free Games
The Epic Games Store formally announces its June 18 giveaway, which features one of the best games of 2022 paired with another title.
Get Static Voice via Itch.io for Free
Gamers can head to Itch.io right now to pick up Static Voice completely free of charge, described by developer Kaddera Games as a “first-person stealth survival horror” where players must “explore the toxic stairwell, manage your gas mask filters, and avoid the ‘Echoes’ of your neighbors while gathering parts for the device.” It features a distinct Soviet-era aesthetic that really adds to the atmosphere, reminiscent of games like STALKER in this regard. The developer boasts sound-based stealth as one of its key features, which helps further those serious STALKER vibes.

While there aren’t many comments about Static Voice on Itch.io, the game’s Steam page offers an interesting look into its reception from players. Since its release on the platform earlier this year, the game has received “Positive” reviews from players, albeit from a small sample size. There is plenty of praise for its atmosphere, while many enjoyed the blend between the survival horror aspects and the Soviet-era aesthetic. While spooky games like this aren’t for everyone, it definitely seems that, considering it’s free to keep, fans of the genre should definitely consider giving this game a try.
Those who want to claim Static Voice for free should act quickly to grab it. This free to keep promotion is only active until 2:45 AM CT on June 19, after which it will return to full price. It’s worth noting that this game has been free on Itch.io previously, so it’s possible it could return for a third time in the future. To be safe, pick it up as soon as possible.
How to Claim Games on Itch.io
- Register and sign in to an Itch.io account.
- Head to the game’s store page.
- Press the “Download or claim” button.
- When prompted to donate to the developer, either choose to donate or press “No thanks, just take me to the downloads.”
- Download the game from your library.
Itch.io has a few free game promotions at the moment. PC gamers can also claim Not A Customer and Sleep Demon completely free of charge, but those promotions are only active until June 14, leaving not a lot of time to pick them up. There is no obligation for players to download these games from their Itch.io libraries straight away, which is why it’s worth claiming them while the promotions are still active.
