Wolverine Isn’t Out Until September, But It’s Already One of PS5’s Best-Selling Games
Marvel’s Wolverine has become an unexpected chart-topper even before its September release. Following a State of Play presentation, the upcoming action adventure game has climbed the PlayStation Store’s overall best-selling list, outperforming readily available titles like LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and MLB The Show 26. The pre-order success underscores Insomniac’s growing dominance in Marvel game adaptations.
In the United States specifically, Wolverine ranks fourth among all PS Store sales, trailing only NBA 2K26, Fortnite, and 007 First Light. The strong performance for a game months away from launch is particularly notable given the competition—NBA 2K26’s chart position aligns with the ongoing NBA Finals, while Fortnite recently launched a new season. 007 First Light has already accumulated over three million sales units to date.
The impressive pre-order performance reflects strong consumer interest in Insomniac’s Marvel output and suggests the developer has successfully built anticipation for its next blockbuster title. This achievement highlights why Insomniac has become a preferred partner for bringing Marvel properties to PlayStation, with early sales momentum promising a major hit at launch.
