Wipeout lays the futuristic Psygnosis racing base with a cult soundtrack, still elegant today but with harsh difficulty and limited PS1 engine.

Collector interest

The original Japanese version of Wipeout, the first pressing of the anti-gravity racer that defined the console's style, rarer than the Western editions. This native edition appeals to those wanting the starting point of a cultural icon in its original language. Its precedence and local run support a value above the more common PAL and American versions.

Is Wipeout still worth playing in 2026?

Released in 1995 on PS1, Psygnosis Liverpool's project redefined futuristic racing on consoles with a graphic elegance that merged with the era's rave culture. The Designers Republic art direction, the electronica soundtrack featuring Orbital, Leftfield and Chemical Brothers, and the antigravity speed feel install a lasting identity. The handling glides a lot and the track reading requires learning. Recommended today for futuristic arcade devotees, for Psygnosis fans and for PS1 collectors curious about a founding console classic on Sony's first home console hardware globally.
