Every ship has different characteristics for example, each ship's statistics vary in handling, thrust, top speed and shield strength. In all games, players control anti-gravity ships which are owned by racing corporations (effectively referred to as 'teams' in-game). Wipeout HD itself contains content from the PlayStation Portable titles Wipeout Pure and Wipeout Pulse. Wipeout Omega Collection is a remaster of the previous two titles in the Wipeout series: Wipeout HD (with its Wipeout HD Fury expansion) and Wipeout 2048. From left to right clockwise, the interface displays the lap and time, shield strength, current position, speedometer, and lap time.

The expanded Fury version and the subsequent Wipeout 2048 were remastered for PlayStation 4 and released as Wipeout Omega Collection in 2017.Screenshot from the remastered Wipeout HD.

Wipeout HD, along with its Fury expansion pack, was also chosen as a free offering as part of Sony's "Welcome Back" programme due to the 2011 PlayStation Network outage. The game received controversy over its in-game advertising at the time of the Fury expansion pack's release, with many players complaining of extended loading times due to in-game advertisements. Critics unanimously praised the game's 1080p visuals, smooth frame rate, and techno soundtrack – a feature many critics recognised as a hallmark of the Wipeout series. Wipeout HD and its expansion pack received positive reviews upon release. The game was delayed for a few months due to reports of it failing epilepsy tests. Wipeout HD was developed by Studio Liverpool, who had desired to release a game for the PlayStation store to stress that downloadable content was not reserved for smaller games. The game revolves around players competing in the FX350 anti-gravity racing league, and features selected tracks from the PlayStation Portable games Wipeout Pure and Wipeout Pulse, although the content has been upgraded to render 1080p visuals in 60 frames per second.
