How this port works

This is a native port: the game was rebuilt to run as a real PC program with no emulator in the loop. That usually means better performance, arbitrary resolution and mod support — and it is why these run well on modest hardware.

An enhanced PC source port of the original WipeOut.

Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play WipeOut on PC?

Yes. The project distributes no game data — you supply your own copy or dump. Every project in this scene works this way, and it is what lets them stay publicly hosted on GitHub.

What does "native" mean?

This is a native port: the game was rebuilt to run as a real PC program with no emulator in the loop. That usually means better performance, arbitrary resolution and mod support — and it is why these run well on modest hardware.

Will WipeOut run on a low-end PC?

Native ports and recompilations skip CPU emulation entirely, so they are usually far lighter than an emulator for the same console. With no published measurement for this project, though, any estimate would be guesswork — test it on your own machine.

When was WipeOut released?

The original game shipped in 1995, developed by Psygnosis and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. This PC port is from 2024.

Which systems does it support?

The current release (v1.2.256) ships builds for Windows. The game originally shipped on PlayStation.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by wipeout-phantom-edition, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
