Microsoft announced the free games Xbox Live Gold members will be able to exclusively avail for free as part of the Games with Gold March lineup — "Trials of the Blood Dragon," "Superhot," "Brave: The Video Game" and "Quantum Conundrum."

"Trials of the Blood Dragon," which retails at $14.99, will be available from March 1 to March 30 on Xbox One. The game is set in 2019, in a world where Blood Dragons of unknown origin wander. The spinoff to the "Trials" franchise introduces the characters, Roxanne and Slayter, the offspring of the legendary Rex Power Colt. With their toughness and intelligence inherited from their father and mother, respectively, they will be setting out to Vietnam 4 to save the world.

"Superhot," which retails at $24.99, will be available from March 16 to April 15 on Xbox One. The first-person shooter (FPS) game is the only one of its kind wherein time moves only when players move — there is no such thing as regenerating health bars. Players are tasked to grab the weapons of defeated enemies to shoot, slice and survive the game.

"Brave: The Video Game," which retails at $19.99, will be available from March 1 to March 15 on the Xbox One and Xbox 360. The adventure game is an adaptation of the animated film "Brave." The game follows the story of the film, focusing on what happened after Elinor turned into a bear and escaped from the castle.

"Quantum Conundrum," which retails at $9.99, will be available from March 16 to March 31 on Xbox One and Xbox 360. In the game, players take on the role of a young boy who is tasked to rescue his uncle using his uncle's newest invention, the Interdimensional Shift Device (IDS) to switch between dimensions and solve puzzles.
