Wipeout (styled wipE'out") is a racing game developed and published by Psygnosis, which was released in 1995 for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PCs running MS-DOS and Amiga with ppc hardware.

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. There are four different racing teams, and two pilots on each team, from which the player chooses; each ship has distinct characteristics of acceleration, top speed, mass, and turning radius. By piloting their craft over power-up pads found on the tracks, the player can pick up shields, turbo boosts, mines, shock waves, rockets, or missiles, which protect the player's craft or disrupt the competitors' craft.
