WipEout HD is a futuristic racing video game developed by Sony Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It is the eighth installment of the WipEout series and was first released on the PlayStation Network on 25 September 2008 in both Europe and North America, and on 29 October 2008 in Japan. A major expansion pack titled WipEout HD Fury was released worldwide via the PlayStation Network worldwide on 23 July 2009. A retail version was later made available in Europe on 16 October 2009. The game revolves around players competing in the FX350 anti-gravity racing league, and features the same race 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.
