Overview

  • Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine is scheduled for September 15, 2026 on PS5 with no PC version announced, and Schreier remarked he would not be surprised if it never comes to PC.
  • Digital Foundry’s John Linneman and insider NateTheHate have shared similar impressions, reinforcing that a strategic rethink may be underway.
  • Sony has not announced any change to its policy, and Schreier indicated more formal reporting on the topic is in progress.
