Insomniac Games says Marvel’s Wolverine will offer a 60fps performance mode with ray tracing enabled on the standard PlayStation 5 at launch. The studio presents this as a first for its games and as evidence of its optimisation work, potentially setting a high technical benchmark for a major current-generation console release.

Senior Project Director Jess Reiner-Reed told IGN that achieving smooth 60fps on the base PS5 had been a goal from early development, while Head of Technology Mike Fitzgerald said the game would deliver the fidelity expected of the console. Insomniac has not specified the performance mode’s resolution or other visual compromises; PS5 Pro owners are expected to receive enhanced visuals, and much pre-release footage has been shown on that model.
