Insomniac Games released a new cinematic trailer for Marvel's Wolverine, titled "Ain't No Hero," but the video has been inundated with negative comments from players protesting Sony's decision to phase out physical disc production for PlayStation games starting in 2028. The trailer, which offers glimpses of Lady Deathstrike and a potential team-up between Wolverine and Sabretooth, has garnered over a million views on YouTube. However, the comment section has largely become a platform for fan dissatisfaction with Sony's move away from physical media.
Many comments directly or indirectly reference the impending end of physical disc production. "At least I get to have a physical copy of this game," reads one widely upvoted comment, highlighting the perceived value of physical releases. Other responses include "Play has limits," a twist on the PlayStation 5's tagline "Play Has No Limits," and a sarcastic "People are mad about our physical disc decision, quick, release the new Wolverine trailer!"
This contrasts sharply with the reception of trailers for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and the original Marvel's Spider-Man, which were met with predominantly positive engagement. Fans have also voiced their concerns on X (formerly Twitter), with some users sharing posts critical of Sony's stance on physical media.
Marvel's Wolverine is set to launch as a PlayStation 5 exclusive on September 15, 2026. This release date positions it as one of the final first-party PlayStation titles to receive a physical version before disc production ceases in January 2028. The backlash suggests that Sony's decision to end physical disc manufacturing has significantly dampened enthusiasm for some of its upcoming releases, with players actively seeking opportunities to express their disapproval.
