Marvel's Wolverine will be fully playable from PS5 disc at launch

Insomniac says Marvel's Wolverine can be played directly from its PlayStation 5 retail disc without a mandatory download. The game launches on PS5 on 15 September. This departs from a recent pattern of disc releases that still require large day-one downloads, so physical buyers can play at release.

• Developer Insomniac Games confirmed the PS5 retail disc will be fully playable at launch without needing to download the full game.
• Marvel's Wolverine releases for PlayStation 5 on 15 September.
• Players who buy a physical disc will be able to start playing immediately rather than waiting for a mandatory day-one download.
• The release contrasts with several recent triple-A PlayStation titles that shipped on disc but required large downloads, reflecting the industry's move toward digital distribution.
