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.

SECTION 06
Stuck on the tree or at a story gate?
01 · Official statement

Insomniac says update 01.001.004 fixed Jean Grey dropping off during a Japan mission and Logan failing to slide under a Telambang prison door. Install the newest update your PS5 offers before retrying either point.
September 15 hotfix note, second and third fix bullets.
Supports
Insomniac says update 01.001.004 fixed Jean Grey dropping off during a Japan mission and Logan failing to slide under a Telambang prison door. Install the newest update your PS5 offers before retrying either point.
Limit
The note does not identify the exact Japan mission, provide a checkpoint-recovery procedure, or guarantee recovery of a save already stuck there. Kingy has not tested either fix. Checking for updates before retrying is Kingy advice based on the documented fix, not an Insomniac recovery procedure.

SECTION 07
Missing bonus items or a failed code?
01 · Editorial interpretation
Missing pre-order or Digital Deluxe items? Insomniac says Bonus Content should be on by default. When starting a new save, open All Settings → Bonus Content and set it On. That instruction does not establish a fix for an existing save; keep your current save.
Support answer, new-save setting path and default-on statement.
Supports
Missing pre-order or Digital Deluxe items? Insomniac says Bonus Content should be on by default. When starting a new save, open All Settings → Bonus Content and set it On. That instruction does not establish a fix for an existing save; keep your current save.
Limit
The developer gives no way to change this setting for an existing save, no entitlement-refresh guarantee, and no reason to delete or overwrite progress. The save-preservation caution is Kingy advice. No console or account was tested.

02 · Official statement
If a pre-order code fails, Insomniac says to check whether you own Digital Deluxe or its upgrade, which already includes the pre-order bonuses. If the content is still missing, contact PlayStation Support.

Limit
The answer does not say a failed voucher is always redundant, settle a particular purchase entitlement, or provide a voucher-code repair. Kingy has not tested redemption or entitlement delivery.
