Marvel's Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, became the top-selling new release in the US during September 2026, according to Circana. The game launched exclusively on PlayStation 5 mid-month, making its sales performance particularly notable.
Despite reaching the top of sales charts, the game received mixed critical reviews, scoring 75 on Metacritic. According to Destructoid, this sales performance stands in contrast to its critical reception, demonstrating both the strength of the Marvel franchise and consumer confidence in Insomniac Games as a developer.
September 2026 saw numerous major releases, but Wolverine stood out commercially. Per Eurogamer, it marked Sony's biggest launch revenue since Helldivers 2, underscoring the title's commercial strength despite criticism of its execution.
