It was released for Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch,[1] and Xbox One in August 2020,[2] and PlayStation 4 on February 24, 2021.

[3] Bite the Bullet is a platform game in which players control a mercenary with the ability to consume enemies and parts of the environment.

[4] For example, the vegan Slaughterer of the Soil skill tree can only consume plants, while Gorivores can eat meat-based enemies and food objects.

Combat becomes a series of trade-offs, as killing enemies outright is quicker and easier, while stunning and consuming them is more dangerous, as it leaves the player exposed to other threats while eating.

Bite the Bullet also features an in-game metabolism, and every action, from moving and jumping to shooting and using abilities, expends calories, protein, and fat.

Bite the Bullet was announced by Mega Cat Studios in June 2019 via a blog entry on their official website.
