PlayStation is set to release a new Marvel‑licensed title called Wolverine, with coverage from Forbes and Eurogamer confirming that the game will arrive on a physical disc that is fully playable at launch. Insomniac Games, the developer, clarified that the disc version will include the console’s special DualSense features and will be packaged in a PS5 cover, matching the branding of other recent PlayStation releases. Both outlets emphasize the significance of the disc format.
