Here is what the page “Marvel’s Wolverine Claws to Top of September Sales Despite Mixed Reviews, Sets Sony Record” contains. Marvel’s Wolverine defied lukewarm critical reception to become September’s best-selling game in the U.S., according to Circana data. The Insomniac-developed title achieved the highest launch-month dollar sales for a Sony-published game since Helldivers 2 in February 2024, even amid stiff competition from new releases like Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and The Blood of Dawnwalker. Mat Piscatella of Circana noted that eight of September’s top 10 sellers were new launches, with Wolverine leading the pack despite being a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
The game’s success boosted PS5 hardware dollar sales by 43% year-over-year, giving Sony its highest hardware dollar share since May 2025. Estimates suggest Wolverine sold 1.9 million units by September 18, including 799,000 physical copies, though it hasn’t cracked the top 10 best-sellers of 2026 overall.
