About

Wipeout (1995) is a fast-paced anti-gravity racing game that puts you in the cockpit of futuristic F3600 craft competing across multiple tracks in 2052. You'll choose from four racing teams, each with two distinct ships that vary in acceleration, top speed, mass, and handling characteristics. The game's arcade-style action and unique sci-fi racing premise have made it a cult classic in the racing genre.

On modern systems, Wipeout runs extremely well and makes for an excellent benchmark title if you're testing older or modest hardware configurations. The game requires just 4 GB RAM and will run smoothly on integrated graphics, easily maintaining 60+ FPS on even budget GPUs from the last decade. If you're benchmarking entry-level graphics cards or want a lightweight game that won't stress your system, Wipeout serves as a solid performance baseline without demanding high-end specifications.

With a rating of 68/100, Wipeout is worth playing if you enjoy arcade racing and don't mind retro aesthetics. The gameplay remains engaging despite its age, offering accessible fun for casual racers and competitive depth for those chasing faster lap times.

Performance profile

Released in September 1995, Wipeout predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.

Action titles like Wipeout reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.

Extremely light — Wipeout runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Set in the year 2052, players compete in the F3600 anti-gravity racing league, piloting one of a selection of craft in races on several different tracks around the world.
