Marvel’s Wolverine Was the US’s Best-Selling Game in September
Marvel’s Wolverine was the best-selling game in the US in September, according to Circana sales data.
The game is published by Sony and was available on a single platform, the PlayStation 5.
It recorded Sony’s highest launch-month sales revenue since Helldivers 2 in February 2024.
That result came despite mixed reviews and lukewarm player reception, and competition from several other new games.
PlayStation 5 hardware sales revenue rose 43% in the month, though the data does not say how much Wolverine contributed to that increase.
The game ranked 11th among the best-selling US games of 2026 so far, so it did not make the year’s top 10.
Sony has not commented on its overall sales, and no further sales update is stated.
