Launch moment: Tuesday, 15 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC, the same instant everywhere.Launch moment for you Wolverine did not unlock at midnight where you live. Sony set a single global moment — 15 September at 04:00 UTC, which was midnight Eastern on the 15th and still the evening of the 14th on the US west coast. No region could start earlier than another, so switching a console to New Zealand bought nothing.

Quick answers
Is Marvel’s Wolverine out?
Yes. It came out on 15 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC — midnight Eastern, 21:00 on the 14th in US Pacific, 05:00 in the UK, 06:00 in central Europe and 13:00 in Japan — on PlayStation 5 only.
Can you turn off the scent trails in Marvel’s Wolverine?
Yes. Since update 1.002.001 in October 2026, the Hint button, R3 by default, switches the story scent trails on and off, and earlier updates added settings for the other scents, audio cues and Nightmare Roots. Insomniac says the settings follow community feedback.
Is Marvel’s Wolverine on PS4 or PC?
Neither. It is a PlayStation 5 exclusive built by Insomniac Games, with PS5 Pro adding PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. Insomniac’s earlier Marvel games reached PC later, but nothing has been announced for this one.
Does Wolverine run at 60 fps?
Yes, and it is the default. Performance Mode targets 60 fps with ray tracing on a base PS5; Fidelity Mode drops to 30 fps for a higher resolution. For a game whose combat is built on parries that matters beyond smoothness: at 60 fps a frame holds your input for 16.7 ms instead of 33.3 ms.
Can you remap the controls in Marvel’s Wolverine?
Yes. Controller Remapping in the accessibility menu takes a preset or a custom layout, and you can put a shortcut on each of the four D-pad buttons — a special technique, photo mode or a game-speed toggle.
Can you make parrying easier?
Yes. Dodge/Parry Input Timing sets how much time you get to land a dodge or a parry, and Dodge Mode switches the dodge between single tap, continuous hold and toggle. Both sit with the gameplay assists, next to the challenge level.
What does the Digital Deluxe Edition add?
Five suits (Incredible, Savage, Night Hunter, New Leather, Age of Apocalypse), five claw sets (Smooth-Edged, Hollow Blade, Serrated Spine, Tapered, Thick), three Technique Points, and the pre-order bonuses included outright. It is $79.99 against $69.99 for Standard, or $10.00 as an upgrade afterwards.
Does it support the DualSense adaptive triggers?
Yes — haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and 3D audio are all supported, and Adaptive Triggers has its own setting for how much force L2 and R2 push back with. Whether the resistance changes per attack is not documented; the HID inspector on this site shows what your pad is actually exposing.
How were the reviews?
Mixed to positive: Metacritic lists it at 76 out of 100, “generally favorable”. Critics praised the combat feel, the performances and the visuals; the common complaints were repetition and a story that does not reach its potential.
