All Marvel characters in Wolverine on PS5 (so far)

Marvel's Wolverine debuted a new trailer at Sony's PlayStation State of Play. It included several popular Marvel characters for the PS5 game.

Control Resonant Has 48 Hours Early Access, But Only On PS5

Remedy's multiplatform action game Control Resonant showed up during the PlayStation State of Play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-june-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/) event this week, and it turns out the game is giving PS5 users preferential treatment. One of the perks of buying the $70 digital deluxe edition of Control Resonant on PS5 is 48 hours of early access(https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/EP5291-PPSA3454700-0993602042148218). That means PS5 users who pay $10 more than the standard edition can start playing on September 22. Everyone else can get started on September 24. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFmz2jV7Zkw The digital deluxe edition also includes the Hiss Corruption outfit and Pickpocket's Tool artifact on all platforms, but PS5 players get something more: the Occult outfit. The digital deluxe edition of Control Resonant also costs $70 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, but PS5 is the only place to get 48-hour early access and the Occult outfit. These types of exclusivity deals are not uncommon in games, but it's still a bummer that two out of the game's three platforms are missing out on some content and early access, despite paying the same amount. PC and Xbox users will also have to deal with potentially having the game's story spoiled for them as they wait the two days to get started. A new story trailer for Control Resonant was released during the State of Play event this week--check it out above.

Control Resonant PC Requirements Are More Reserved Than You Might Expect

Ahead of its release in September, Remedy Entertainment has revealed the recommended PC specifications for Control Resonant, and they aren't as demanding as you might think. Hot on the heels of the game's latest trailer during Sony's State of Play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-june-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/), Remedy shared the minimum and recommended hardware configurations you'll need for Control Resonant later this year, with GPUs and CPUs from several generations past being the most demanding aspects. On the recommended front, Resonant will require either an RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, which released all the way back in 2020 and 2021 respectively. They're also severely limited cards when it comes to memory by modern standards. The RTX 3070 specifically features only 8GB of VRAM, which has been too little for many recent releases. That bodes well if you're still clinging onto older hardware in light of the ongoing AI-driven memory crisis, which has made everything with fast memory more expensive to purchase. Minimum: - OS: Windows 10/ 11 (64-bit required) - Processor: Intel corei5-8500 or AMD equivalent - Memory: 16GB RAM - Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 5600 XT - Storage: 100GB SSD Recommended: - OS: Windows 10/ 11 (64-bit required) - Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent - Memory: 16GB RAM - Graphics: GeForce RTX 3070 / Radeon RX 6700 XT - Storage: 100GB SSD The caveat here is that while Remedy Entertainment seems to be catering to players with aging systems, there's no indication yet what type of performance you can expect with these configurations. The studio says that information will come closer to launch, presumably with breakdowns indicating what hardware you'll need to run the sequel at higher resolutions with more graphically demanding settings like ray tracing, which the first Control was renowned for. Control Resonant is launching on September 24, and there's a slew of other massive games occupying the same month such as Marvel's Wolverine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, and more.

Control Resonant's Digital Deluxe Edition Includes 48 Hours Early Access, But It's Exclusive To PS5

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2025/12/11/1cebf2cf/control04.jpg.webp) Remedy Entertainment released a new trailer for its upcoming action game, Control: Resonant(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/control-resonant), during yesterday's PlayStation State of Play(https://www.gameinformer.com/round-up/2026/06/02/heres-everything-shown-during-the-june-2026-playstation-state-of-play), revealing a September 24 release date(https://www.gameinformer.com/2026/06/02/new-control-resonant-trailer-shows-glimpse-of-jesse-faden-and-a-september-release-date) with it. Shortly after, people noticed that the PlayStation Store listing for the Digital Deluxe Edition(https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/EP5291-PPSA3454700-0993602042148218) includes a Hiss Corruption Outfit, an Occult Outfit, the Pickpocket's Tool Artifact, some other digital goodies, and 48-hour early access starting September 22. The trend of being able to pay more for a game to jump in a couple of days early is already disappointing and annoying, preying on the very-real FOMO some players experience in such an online connected landscape (not to mention a fear of spoilers that might appear online) – last month, Xbox charged a whopping $120 to jump into Forza Horizon 6(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/forza-horizon-6/remaining-on-the-podium) a few days early, and it's one of the most egregious examples of early access premiums. Now, Remedy is only charging $69.99 for the Control Resonant Digital Deluxe Edition, which is the full price of most triple-A games these days, but to amplify an already frustrating tactic, the company has made this option exclusive to PlayStation 5 players, as reported by PushSquare(https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/06/ps5-early-access-pre-orders-truly-are-getting-out-of-hand). When asked by a fan on X, Remedy communications director Thomas Puha confirmed(https://x.com/RiotRMD/status/2062031551790252082?s=20) that this edition and getting into the game 48 hours early are exclusive to the PS5 version of Control Resonant. In an ideal world, none of this pay-extra-to-play-a-couple-of-days-early stuff exists, but if you're going to prey on FOMO, at least make it something all players excited for your game, regardless of platform, can access. It's a frustrating trend made even more frustrating by actions such as this, and one we'll likely continue to see more of. In the meantime, check out this Control Resonant gameplay trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/control-resonant-shows-off-new-reality-warping-gameplay) from earlier this year, and then watch the Control Resonant reveal trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/the-game-awards-2025/2025/12/11/remedy-reveals-control-resonant-a-melee-action-rpg-sequel-to). After that, read Game Informer's Control review(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/control/a-heady-power-trip).

Will Insomniac's hairy Wolverine unseat Leon Kennedy as 2026's biggest gaming hottie?

The latest trailer for Marvel's Wolverine, revealed in the PlayStation State of Play event, proves it's a great year for fans of burly dudes

Wolverine Dev Changed Things To Avoid Logan Appearing To Be A “Sadist”

One of the major takeaways from the new trailer for Marvel's Wolverine at the State of Play event recently was that the PS5 game is a brutal, gory affair. Creative director Marcus Smith told Variety(https://variety.com/2026/gaming/news/wolverine-video-game-trailer-x-men-cameos-gameplay-1236764406/) that Wolverine is a "mature game," but if you want to dial back the gore, there will be an option for you. He also said developer Insomniac had to change certain animations during development to avoid having Logan come across as a "sadist" when it comes to violence. "We understand that some people are squeamish when it comes to blood, and we do have an accessibility option to turn it off and do low-gore paths," he explained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5UuhXW32JI Game director Mike Daly, meanwhile, said there was "really no turning away from the violence" and the studio needed it in the game "in order to really live up to the character" and make a game that does Wolverine justice. The result is an "unapologetic embrace of the character and their violent nature," he said. Smith went on to say that Logan does not relish in the violence he inflicts upon his enemies. Instead, his violence is about "efficiency," Smith said. "What he’s doing is the quickest way to get to what he needs to do, right? So when you’re cutting through unequivocally bad guys, it feels pretty good to just be doing it," he said. "But there were times during development when somebody would do an animation where you just went, 'Ah, that looks a little bit too much, like he’s enjoying it.' He’s not a sadist here or anything." Wolverine launches on September 15 for PS5. We recently got a closer look at the game during the PlayStation State of Play broadcast--check out the new footage above.

The X-Men Don’t Exist In Insomniac’s Wolverine, But Another Important Team Does

Marvel's Wolverine finally got its big gameplay reveal during Sony's latest State of Play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-june-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/) showcase, alongside first looks at a variety of new characters from the wider X-Men universe. With mutants being rounded up by Trask Industries and other factions, it begs the question: where are the other X-Men? It turns out, they don't exist in this version of Wolverine's universe. That's according to creative director Marcus Smith, who confirmed that the mutant-defending team would not feature in Insomniac's Wolverine. Instead, the game will feature Team X, which is described as a globe-trotting group of mercenary mutants who are protecting other mutants in danger. In this universe, most mutants are still living in secret, so the idea of Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters seems a while away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiBoNgYI5Q "In our world, mutants aren’t really that well known throughout the world, so they’re mostly in hiding because they’re pretty vulnerable," Smith explained to Variety(https://variety.com/2026/digital/news/wolverine-video-game-trailer-x-men-cameos-gameplay-1236764406/). "In our trailer that we set up, Logan is hunting down some mutants who’ve been kidnapped by cybernetically enhanced mercenaries called the Reavers, and that’s when he discovers there’s yet another mutant who is also trying to save them, and that’s where he and Jean cross paths." That would explain why Logan doesn't seem to recognize Jean Grey in the trailer, but might also give some hints as to why other characters also appear. Mystique is seen fighting Reavers near the end of the trailer, suggesting that she might be another member of Team X. While Omega Red and Sabretooth have also been associated with the group in the past, it's clear here that they're villains you'll have to deal with as Wolverine, and likely not aligned with saving other mutants. One associate of Team X in the comics has been Lady Deathstrike, who has not featured in a trailer yet. She has also lead the Reavers in the past, who are pominently featured (and torn up) in this latest gameplay trailer. So it's possible Insomniac could be reserving her introduction as a surprise later down the line. There are many Marvel characters that are making an appearance in Wolverine, in large and small roles alike. Check out our list of everyone you might have missed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wolverine-gameplay-trailer-reveals-jean-grey-team-up-and-more-marvel-characters/) from the latest trailer before Wolverine launches exclusively on PS5 on September 15.
