Marvel's Wolverine Physical Copies Take 35 Percent Of Worldwide Sales

Marvel's Wolverine, the Insomniac Games action title released for PS5 on September 15, 2026, sold about 2.16 million copies worldwide, with physical versions accounting for 35 percent, according to Ampere Analysis data reported by The Game Business. In Europe, Games Sales Data puts physical at 51 percent, above digital. The UK skewed digital at about two-thirds, while France was more than two-thirds physical.
The split is not uniform across the continent. Games Sales Data puts European physical sales at 51 percent, but the UK ran the other way, with about two-thirds of copies sold digitally, while France went more than two-thirds physical. Other PS5 releases show similar boxed shares: SILENT HILL: Townfall above 45 percent, The Blood of Dawnwalker at 36 percent, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword at 30 percent.
Sony has said PlayStation games released after January 2028 will drop physical disc versions. Its own figures put full PS game digital unit sales at about 82 percent, and publishers such as Capcom at about 90 percent digital.
