About Wipeout
This Wipeout play order runs in release order, from the 1995 original through Fusion, the handheld era and the Omega Collection.
A second list below reorders the same games by their in-fiction racing leagues, starting with the 2048 prequel, for players curious about the timeline.
Good to know
Wipeout 3 Special Edition (2000) is an expanded European reissue of Wipeout 3 rather than a separate story. Studio Liverpool closed in August 2012, and Sony has announced no new racing entry since Wipeout Merge, so the series sits dormant.
