Marvel's Wolverine Leads U.S. September Sales, Sony's Best Launch Since Helldivers 2

Circana's September 2026 U.S. sales report puts Marvel's Wolverine, the Insomniac Games action-adventure published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, in first place. According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, the PS5 title posted the highest first-month dollar sales for a Sony-published game since Helldivers 2, which launched in February 2024 on PS5 and PC. Despite launching in mid-September, Marvel's Wolverine took the monthly top spot. PS5 dollar sales rose 43 percent year on year and unit sales 22 percent, giving PlayStation its highest monthly hardware sales share since May 2025. Xbox Series X|S fell 27 percent and Switch 2 fell 14 percent. Ampere data cited in the report has Marvel's Wolverine at about 2.16 million copies globally in September, second among PS5 titles behind EA Sports FC 27. The top 10 included Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Ace Combat 8. Recent Sony releases such as Astro Bot, Stellar Blade and Ghost of Yotei had smaller first months.
