Overview
Description

Control a white beam of light as it darts forward through surreal courses that flip between flat 2‑D tracks and depth‑rich 3‑D perspectives. The game challenges you to master timing, dashes, and item use while a driving techno soundtrack fuels the race. Choose between Light Tours, a competitive three‑course tournament for points, or Freeway mode, a high‑score sprint against the clock. Progress by alternating modes to unlock all content and achieve the fastest times.

Wipeout XL is a landmark futuristic racing game developed and published by Psygnosis, originally released in 1996. Players pilot anti-gravity craft at extreme speeds across visually striking, gravity-defying tracks while utilizing an arsenal of offensive and defensive weapons to eliminate opponents. Renowned for its sleek design, cutting-edge techno soundtrack featuring artists like The Chemical Brothers and Prodigy, and intense gameplay, the title set a new standard for the racing genre on PC and Mac platforms.
