Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a limited-edition PlayStation 5 lineup inspired by Marvel’s Wolverine, featuring a bright yellow console bundle, matching DualSense controllers, and metallic silver Adamantium accessories. Pre-orders open on August 19, 2026, ahead of the game’s September 15 release.
The upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive Marvel’s Wolverine is expanding its hardware footprint before hitting store shelves. Alongside Insomniac Games’ next superhero adventure, Sony is releasing a wave of themed hardware designed in collaboration with Scottish comic book artist Mark Simpson, widely known by his pen name Jock, whose traditional ink work helped establish the game’s bold graphic style.
Battle Yellow Console Bundles and Accessories
According to PlayStation’s official announcement, the package features a yellow and black chassis styled after Logan’s classic uniform and the Battle Reborn suit shown at San Diego Comic-Con. The front of the console displays a portrait of Wolverine paired with transparent claw marks that let owners peer into the machine.
Unlike standard console packages, the bundle includes a matching Battle Yellow DualSense wireless controller and a digital game code for Marvel’s Wolverine, though IGN noted that the vertical stand remains excluded from the box. For players who already own hardware, Sony is offering console covers separately for the PS5 Slim (compatible with both disc and digital models) and the PS5 Pro at $74.99 US, £64.99 GBP, €74.99 EUR, and ¥9,980 JPY. The Battle Yellow DualSense controller is also available standalone for $84.99 US, £74.99 GBP, €84.99 EUR, and ¥12,480 JPY.
“I wanted to show Wolverine at his fiercest for Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories. I still draw all my artwork traditionally, so the opportunity to marry cutting-edge hardware with the energy and looseness of hand-drawn ink is incredibly exciting.”
Jock, graphic artist
Jock added in his statement shared by Video Games Chronicle that he was stunned by how well the console and accessories captured the raw energy of the drawing, bringing Wolverine to life in a completely unique way.
Adamantium Silver Alternatives for PS5 Pro Owners
While there is no complete console bundle for the silver colorway, Polygon reported that PS5 Pro owners can purchase exclusive silver console covers that swap out the yellow palette for a metallic finish featuring the same dramatic claw slashes.
The Adamantium console covers retail for $74.99 US, £64.99 GBP, and €74.99 EUR, while the matching Adamantium DualSense wireless controller costs $84.99 US, £74.99 GBP, and €84.99 EUR, according to VGChartz data. Unlike the yellow variant, the silver covers are restricted to the PS5 Pro model.
