All that review-score doom-looming didn’t actually stop anyone from buying Marvel’s Wolverine.

According to market analyst Rhy Elliot of Alinea Analytics, he posted on X that Insomniac’s latest has shifted roughly 1.9 million copies in just three days, pulling in around $130 million. Physical copies made up 22.9% of that, with the US accounting for 53% of sales, followed by the UK at 7%, France at 5%, and Canada at 4%.

Given the reception the game’s had, that’s a proper reversal of fortune. Critics weren’t kind, but once PlayStation players started handing out scores as high as 97/100, the narrative shifted fast, and apparently so did wallets.

Elliot’s numbers also put Wolverine ahead of Death Stranding 2’s lifetime PS5 sales of 1.8 million, and comfortably past MLB The Show’s 1.5 million on PS5. Saros trails well behind at 510,000 PS5 units, while Marathon (1.8 million) and Marvel Tōkon (740,000) haven’t caught up either, even counting sales across every platform.

That makes Wolverine the best-performing PlayStation Studios release of the year so far, at least going by these early figures. Not bad for a game everyone was ready to write off before launch.

Marvel’s Wolverine has gone gold, and Insomniac decided to announce it with Logan popping golden claws instead of the usual adamantium.

The studio confirmed the news on X, and it’s not just a throwaway visual for the clip. Insomniac says players will actually be able to unlock and equip the Gold Claws once the game launches. Small detail, but I like that they’re still adding little flourishes this close to release rather than just coasting to the finish line.

Going gold means the build is locked and done, so Marvel’s Wolverine stays on track for September 15, 2026, with three weeks to spare. That’s a solid buffer, and honestly a decent bit of news to have on hand after the director’s recent comments about online backlash being a “good problem to have.” Nothing settles noise like a finished game.

Gold status: sorted. Golden claws: confirmed. Now it’s just the wait.
