## Key points

- Scent trails and audio indicators are now less pronounced.
- A complete toggle may arrive in a future update.
- The hotfix also addresses crashes affecting some players.

## Summary

Marvel’s Wolverine has received hotfix 01.001.005 to make its controversial scent trails less visually prominent. The bright blue “fart gas” lines help Wolverine find objectives and collectibles, while audio-sense indicators have also been toned down; Insomniac is considering a future option to disable them completely.

The update also fixes crashes affecting a small percentage of players. Sony has not released official sales figures, but estimates suggest around 1.9 million copies sold, generating approximately $130 million (£97 million), with 22.9% of sales coming from physical copies. The game has received mixed reviews, including criticism of its dated design despite praise for its characters.
