What happened
According to the provided roundup, Steam has several free offers running at the same time. The source separates these into 7 promotions that are available now and 5 extra freebies that will follow later this weekend and in October. In other words, these are multiple separate offers within the same period, not one single promotion.
The most notable title in the roundup is Diablo 4. Blizzard is offering the game temporarily for free on Steam, making that promotion stand out above the smaller offers in the same list. In the available context, Diablo 4 is described as the biggest free offer of the moment, with a run time until September 21, 2026.
Alongside the temporary play periods, the source also mentions a free-to-keep promotion on Steam. That selection includes 4 giveaways, 3 of which are full games. In the excerpt, Crystal Crisis, Space Menace and Deadshot are explicitly named as titles that can be claimed for free; the fourth giveaway is not visible in the provided material.
The source also mentions several involved parties, including Blizzard, Techland, Nicalis, Inc. and Only4Gamers. The exact titles and claim windows for the 7 current promotions and the 5 planned freebies are not fully broken out in the excerpt.

Background
Free-to-keep means a game can be permanently added to your library if you claim it within the stated window. The source places that kind of offer alongside temporary free-play periods, such as the Diablo 4 promotion. That means two different types of Steam promotion are being used side by side: temporary access and permanent claim offers.
The roundup also mentions publishers and parties such as Blizzard, Techland, Nicalis, Inc. and Only4Gamers. That suggests the free offers are coming from multiple sources across the platform, not just one publisher. The provided information does show several concrete titles in the free-to-keep selection, but not the full list.
