The action-adventure title Marvel's Wolverine was developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment as a standalone entry in the Marvel's Spider-Man series. As FTMQ Gaming reported earlier, the game was the best-selling title in the United States in September 2026, generating the highest monthly dollar sales for a Sony-published release since Helldivers 2.
