Morphology
The sense 'to lose blood until dying/being incapacitated' is directly built from 'bleed' (lose blood) plus the particle 'out' signaling completion or depletion, so the core meaning is compositionally derivable. The video‑game phrasing (losing remaining health while downed) is a domain‑specific application of that literal sense, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bleed out paints a literal picture: the body begins to bleed and the blood goes out from a deep wound. That's why to bleed out means to lose so much blood that a person can 'die'.
