Despite its mixed reception, Marvel's Wolverine was September's top-selling new game in the US, making Sony launch revenues it hasn't seen since Helldivers 2

Marvel's Wolverine may not have had the best critical reception , but that clearly didn't discourage consumers. The action-adventure from Marvel's Spider-Man studio Insomniac has topped US video game sales in September, despite releasing exactly halfway through the month. That's according to market analysis firm Circana, which noted Wolverine's success includes digital sales and those made at retail. It was such a hit that, as Circana analyst Mat Piscatella wrote, the game delivered "the highest launch month dollar sales" a Sony-published game has seen since Helldivers 2 , which released in February 2024.
