Insomniac Games released a new update for Marvel's Wolverine on PS5 that lets players disable controversial collectible scent trails and audio clues, while also fixing community-reported bugs and glitches.
Insomniac Games has released a fresh update for Marvel's Wolverine on PlayStation 5, addressing one of the community's loudest complaints since launch. Update version 1.001.006 introduces three new toggle settings that let players completely turn off scent trails for whiskey bottles, audio clues for material crates, and nightmare door roots. The conversation around the game had heavily centered on these prominent navigation aids, with players criticizing the mechanics as overly restrictive. The studio previously lowered the opacity on certain visual guides, but this new patch gives players the freedom to remove them entirely for a cleaner exploration experience.
The update also focuses on community-reported technical issues, fixing stability problems and cleaning up some viral glitches. Logan will no longer get his adamantium claws stuck while sliding down trees during early missions, and a photo mode bug causing misaligned claws has been resolved. Insomniac also cleared up a minor visual oversight involving casino bathroom signs that had previously sparked unnecessary internet rumors about generative AI. Story-critical tracking senses will still function as intended, but optional collectible finders can now be disabled according to player preference.
Studio leadership has emphasized that the development team is actively monitoring social media and player feedback channels to shape ongoing support. Insomniac's quick response highlights how modern studios rely on community dialogue to fine-tune single-player titles post-launch. For players diving into the twenty-hour journey toward a platinum trophy, these new customization options offer a much smoother way to experience the action without constant visual prompts holding your hand.
