Marvel's Wolverine Update Tones Down Scent Trails

Insomniac also addressed some crashes in Marvel's Wolverine and is exploring a future way to toggle Sense indicators off.

Insomniac has released hotfix v1.001.005 for Marvel's Wolverine, reducing the opacity of the game's Scent Trails and Audio Sense indicators while addressing some crashes affecting a small percentage of players.

The update was released late on September 18, according to a report on the patch. The scent trail is not constantly active: it appears when Logan tracks a specific scent or sound, or encounters certain collectibles. The change makes those indicators less intense without removing them.

Insomniac is also exploring toggleable Sense options for a future update. A full switch to disable the indicators is therefore not available yet, leaving players with a less prominent trail rather than no trail at all.

Marvel's Wolverine launched on September 15, 2026, for PlayStation 5.
