However, while there is not much to 8-Bit Bayonetta, players quickly discovered that there is something else to the retro game beyond what it seems. As a chiptune version of Bayonetta's theme song plays in the background, players will need to shoot down all incoming enemies while having Bayonetta jump up and down to hit all her targets. The game is playable on Windows 7 or higher, only needs 60 MB of storage space and 1 MB of RAM, and requires DirectX version 11. "Thrill to her signature beehive do in 8-bit pixelated glory! Jump! Shoot! Score! Being bad never felt so retro," said the game's description on its Steam page. Sega has released 8-Bit Bayonetta as a free download for PC gamers on Steam, and true to its title, is an 8-bit game that features the Umbra Witch. The free game for PC, however, is not Bayonetta of 2010 or the Nintendo Wii U-exclusive Bayonetta 2 of 2014, but an entirely new game named 8-Bit Bayonetta. April Fool's Day is usually for pranks and satire, but Sega instead surprised gamers with a free game on Steam featuring the gun heels-wielding Bayonetta.
