Supports

Marvel's Wolverine includes over 100 new, returning and improved accessibility features compared with previous Insomniac games.

Limit

The article counts features across categories and improvements without a category-by-category count, and its '100+' phrasing is a publisher count, not a third-party audit.

Supports

PlayStation's FAQ says launch accessibility options cover categories including gameplay assists, motion sensitivity, visual filters, audio settings, subtitle sizes and colors, and violence customization.

Limit

'Like' introduces examples, not a complete category list; the authoritative list lives on Insomniac's support article, which returned 403 at retrieval.

FAQ: 'Marvel's Wolverine uses the PS5 Pro's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) feature for exceptional image quality and frame rates.'

Supports

No official source reviewed for this edition states verified resolution or frame-rate targets for any PS5 mode; the storefront advertises PSSR for 'exceptional image quality and frame rates'.

Limit

Advertised marketing language is not a measured performance claim; no mode, resolution or frame-rate figures are published.

Public support API article body, third paragraph: presentation changes and reduced opacity.

Supports

Hotfix 01.001.005 reduces the opacity of Scent Trails and Audio Sense indicators to make those visuals less intense.

Limit

Insomniac gives no opacity value, setting path or per-effect controls. Kingy has not measured the visual change in gameplay.

Public support API article body, final paragraph: possible toggleable options in a future update.

Supports

The 01.001.005 note describes toggleable Senses options as something Insomniac is exploring for a future update; it does not announce a shipped on/off toggle.

Limit

This is not a commitment to a toggle or a release date. It does not prove the absence of every existing accessibility option; no menu or later build was tested.

Public support API article body, first and second paragraphs: deployed hotfix and crash scope.

Supports

Insomniac deployed hotfix 01.001.005, addressing some common crashes reported by a small percentage of players since launch.

Limit

The note does not say all crashes are fixed or identify every crash trigger. Kingy has not reproduced or tested these fixes.

Support answer, current recommendation and original-issue explanation.

Supports

If English voices do not play while English is selected in-game, update Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac says version 01.001.004 addressed the mismatch when the PS5 console language was not English.

Limit

This does not establish the audio options or download behavior for every purchase region, and Kingy has not tested language switching. The older console-language workaround is not the first step after the fix.
