The game uses a third-person chase camera as players race through single events or championship modes on futuristic circuits. Craft can collect pickups for missiles, mines, shields, and speed boosts, while handling requires careful use of steering, braking, pitching, and wall-riding to maintain momentum. Progression is based on finishing positions and championship results, unlocking harder events and faster craft as players advance.
Developed and published by Psygnosis, Wipeout 2097 is a major sequel in the Wipeout series. Players pilot armed anti-gravity craft across neon-lit futuristic tracks, combining pure racing with combat mechanics. Its striking visual style, techno soundtrack, and blistering speed made it one of the defining PlayStation titles and a standout example of the platform's 1990s identity.

Learn each track's corners and drops first; braking early is usually safer than recovering from a crash. Save weapons for narrow sections or overtaking moments instead of firing immediately. Use speed pads and energy pickups whenever possible, and keep the craft stable to avoid losing control at high speed. In championship mode, aim for consistent top finishes before chasing perfect lap times.
