As a free-to-play game, SIDE BULLET offers microtransactions, but these aren't pay-to-win bonuses. Instead, there are Item Bundles, which include customizable cosmetic items, such as costumes, weapon skins, furniture, emotes, and more bundled together at a low price, as well as the Premium Battle Pass that allows players to earn various additional rewards on top of their existing Free Battle Pass rewards.

"We're very excited for PlayStation 5 players to finally get their hands on SIDE BULLET on October 4th," said Seong-Uk Kim, director of SIDE BULLET at PressA. "We think it's a highly original mix of classic 2D side-scrolling action with contemporary Battle Royale sensibilities that feels unlike anything else out there. We can't wait to hear what players think of it!."
