A Verge newsletter examines BPC-157, an unapproved 'body protection compound' peptide popularized as part of the so-called Wolverine stack for injury recovery. A 2025 systematic review found only 35 preclinical studies and a single human clinical study on the substance, even as it racked up over 50 million YouTube and TikTok views in 2024 and a reported 1,600 percent rise in US web searches over five years.

A Reddit user known as Clean-Market5761 built a rough PC port of Marvel's Wolverine using source code stolen in the December 2023 Rhysida ransomware attack on Sony and Insomniac. The port is unfinished, with missing textures and Wolverine's head disabled because its PS5 shader library hasn't been ported over, and the developer says AI helped write scripts and automate asset conversion while manual trial and error handled the rest.
Free updates released Thursday for Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei add Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), the first AI-based upscaler to run on the standard PlayStation 5. Digital Foundry testing found QSSR produces sharper images with less shimmering and ghosting than older methods like TAA or FSR 3, though it renders from a lower base resolution than the PS5 Pro's PSSR and costs roughly 9 fps versus Insomniac's own upscaler.
Sony Interactive Entertainment released patches today enabling Quick Spectral Super Resolution, a new AI upscaling feature, on the standard PS5 for Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei. Developed with AMD using a streamlined neural network, QSSR will be available to all PlayStation developers, expanding on the PSSR upscaling tech previously exclusive to PS5 Pro. The update coincides with a complete edition release for Ghost of Yōtei, which existing owners can upgrade to for $15.
An experimental PlayStation 5 emulator called KytyPS5 has progressed from merely booting Marvel's Wolverine to actually rendering its cinematics and gameplay, according to a social media post cited by VideoCardz. The game still runs at only single-digit frame rates, far from playable performance, and there is no official PC version of the Insomniac Games title.
A new jailbreak called Relapse has been released for PlayStation 5 consoles, covering firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60, including the PS5 Pro. It uses browser and kernel exploits to gain kernel read/write access and supports homebrew tools like etaHEN, enabling unauthorized software and emulators such as a Nintendo Switch emulator.
KytyPS5, an open-source PS5 emulator for PC available on GitHub, can now run in-game content in titles such as Astro's Playroom, Crash Bandicoot 4, Hitman: World of Assassination, Uncharted 4, Miles Morales, Silent Hill f, Silent Hill 2 Remake and Tekken 8. An X user shared footage of the emulator loading Marvel's Wolverine's main menu, albeit in slow motion, while a YouTube channel showed a modified build running Demon's Souls Remake gameplay at 40-50fps.
Insomniac Games, known for its expansive Spider-Man titles, took a different approach with its new Wolverine game by building a linear, chapter-based narrative instead of an open world. The game follows Logan through a tight series of locations and personal relationships, prioritizing emotional storytelling over exploration or side content.
Actor Liam McIntyre, who voices Wolverine, and narrative director Walt Williams discussed how they shaped the character for Insomniac's upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game. They described collaborating on performance and story choices to create a fresh take on Logan distinct from prior adaptations.
Sony's Insomniac Games, the studio behind the Spider-Man series that sold 50 million copies, launches Marvel's Wolverine on Tuesday as its biggest PS5 exclusive of the year. Unlike its previous family-friendly superhero titles, Wolverine carries a Pegi-18 rating in the UK due to graphic blood, gore and violence, barring purchase by children.
Insomniac Games, the studio behind the Spider-Man series, is developing 'Marvel's Wolverine' as a markedly more brutal and gory title than its previous superhero work. Early impressions suggest the game embraces intense violence befitting the character's claws-first combat style, setting it apart from the studio's earlier, more family-friendly outings.
