Meanwhile, PlayStation has revived its "only on PlayStation" branding for major first-party titles including Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei.

Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine has received its ESRB rating ahead of its September 15, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5.

Nintendo Switch 2 consoles have dropped to £364 at Amazon UK thanks to a checkout discount, while Marvel's Wolverine preorders sit at £57.99 at Smyths. IGN's Robert Anderson warns UK buyers to act fast before a potential price increase mirrors the $50 US hike coming in September.
PlayStation fans have hijacked the comment section of Marvel's Wolverine's latest trailer to protest Sony's plan to end disc production in 2028.
