Now that the month of May is here, it can only mean one thing: A new selection of free Xbox Games with Gold has started to roll out.

Going straight to the juicy details, here's the list of the available games:

Xbox One

Sunset Overdrive

From the makers of Ratchet & Clank and Spyro, Sunset Overdrive is an open-world shooter set in third-person, where players ride the rails to get around and blast foes with various weapons. It's parkour mixed with a ton of firearms.

Availability: Available since April 16 up to May 15

Original Price: $20

Defense Grid 2

Tower defense, anyone? Defense Grid 2 is one of the best out there for the console, and on that note, it's available on the Windows, Linux, OS X and PS4 — of course, it's not free across those platforms.

Availability: From May 1 to May 31

Original Price: $15

Costume Quest 2

Step into the shoes of the twins Wren and Reynold in Costume Quest 2 and watch them take on the persona of their Halloween costumes to a whole new freaky level.

Availability: From May 16 to June 15

Original Price: $15

Xbox 360

Grid 2

Yet another game with "grid" in its name, Grid 2 is a racing game set in real-life locations. It's the sequel to Race Driver: Grid.

Availability: From May 1 to May 15

Original Price: $15

Peggle

For those who are looking for a casual and relaxing experience, then Peggle is right up their alley. Interestingly, pachinko inspired the creators to make this puzzle game.

Availability: From May 16 to May 30

Original Price: $10

For the uninitiated, the Xbox Games with Gold program gives away some pretty sweet games regularly on a monthly basis, and the lineup for this May is looking awesome. What's more, the Xbox 360 roster can also work on the Xbox One all thanks to backward compatibility.

In other related news, the Xbox One is also getting a slew of anticipated games this month, including but not limited to Battleborn, Doom, Overwatch, Homefront: The Revolution and Fallout 4: Far Harbor.
