Marvel's Wolverine has sold 2.4 million units since its September launch, according to Sony's earnings report. The game achieved the highest launch-month dollar sales for a Sony-published game since Helldivers 2 in February 2024, and debuted as September's best-selling game.
However, the sales trail behind other Sony first-party titles. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 sold 2.5 million units on its first day alone. Ghost of Yotei outperformed Marvel's Wolverine in just a few days.
The game faced competition from multiple launches in the final two months of the year, including Control Resonant, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19. The game also faced lukewarm reviews and negative online chatter during its release window.
Sony did not disclose the game's development budget. The company expects the holiday season and Black Friday discounts to increase sales going forward.
