Marvel's Wolverine Trailer Overwhelmed by Negative Comments Amid PlayStation Physical Disc Backlash

Insomniac Games tried to generate excitement with a new cinematic trailer for Marvel's Wolverine yesterday, but the video quickly became flooded with negative comments from fans still angry at Sony over its plan to stop producing physical discs for PlayStation games. The "Ain't No Hero" trailer has racked up over 1 million views on YouTube and nearly 5,000 comments since its release. Despite featuring a first look at Lady Deathstrike and teasing a team-up between Logan and Sabretooth, viewers are mostly using the opportunity to vent their frustrations at anything Sony's gaming division puts out. As reported by Eurogamer, many comments on the YouTube page directly or indirectly reference Sony's decision to phase out physical discs starting in 2028. The comment section has long been a reliable outlet for fan frustration, but this time it's especially notable. "At least I get to have a physical copy of this game," one popular comment said, referencing confirmation of a physical version for Marvel's Wolverine. "Play has limits," another player replied, twisting Sony's PS5 tagline "Play Has No Limits." "People are mad about our physical disc decision, quick, release the new Wolverine trailer!" someone else joked. For comparison, the "Be Greater. Together." trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and the first Spider-Man game's cinematic trailer received overwhelmingly positive reactions. Wolverine hasn't been so lucky. Some fans have also been criticizing the game on X/Twitter. Marvel's Wolverine is set to launch as a PS5 exclusive on September 15, 2026. With disc production ending in January 2028, its release means Insomniac's latest superhero game will be one of the last first-party titles to get a physical release. At least some of the hype has been dampened recently as players look for any outlet to let Sony know they disapprove of leaving physical game collectors behind. This trend even saw fans waiting to attack the company when it took a brief social media break a few weeks ago.
