Wolverine-Themed PlayStation 5 Consoles and Controllers Launch in September

As the launch of Marvel’s Wolverine—arguably one of the most anticipated titles of the year—draws within a month of release, Sony has unveiled a striking limited-edition hardware collection. Following in the footsteps of PlayStation’s most iconic first-party releases, the game will arrive alongside custom PS5 hardware and peripherals. Hitting shelves on September 15, right alongside the game itself, the comprehensive bundle features a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, a matching controller, and a digital voucher for the game. Take a closer look at the hardware showcase below.

The hardware sports a fierce aesthetic, defined by visceral claw-slash engravings across the chassis and a subtle portrait of Logan himself etched onto the console. For existing console owners, PlayStation is also offering standalone faceplates. While vibrant yellow covers will be available for both the standard PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models, a sleek metallic “Adamantium” silver variant will be produced exclusively for the PS5 Pro. Meanwhile, matching controllers will be offered in both the yellow and Adamantium finishes.

While the standard bundle and yellow controller will see a wider release at participating retailers, the specialized console covers and silver Adamantium controller remain exclusive to PlayStation’s official web store. Unsurprisingly, these collector’s items reflect Sony’s recent wave of hardware and accessory price adjustments. The regional pricing breakdown is as follows:

This rollout arrives amidst a notably turbulent period for the PlayStation brand. Sony’s controversial decision to phase out physical media for new game releases by 2028 has sparked widespread backlash from collectors worldwide. Comment sections across the reveal trailers are filled with consumer frustration regarding the pushed all-digital future, particularly because the special-edition console bundle lacks a disc drive. Even on unrelated channel uploads, players continue to voice their loyalty to physical formats. This friction is compounded by rising manufacturing costs, which have driven Sony to increase hardware and accessory pricing globally across multiple increments over the past year.
