Marvel's Wolverine has the most extensive accessibility and difficulty options Insomniac has ever shipped

Marvel's Wolverine launches on PS5 later this year, and Insomniac Games has detailed a massive list of accessibility and difficulty options — the most comprehensive the studio has ever put into one of its games, surpassing even the already-impressive suite in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 from 2023.

The options span motor presets, challenge level tuning, and a stack of new additions. Players can now set Lock-On behavior across three modes — Off, On-Screen, or All — and choose from four Dodge Mode styles: Default, Single Tap, Continuous Hold, or Toggle. A new Navigation Assist feature adds a directional trail toward enemies or objectives, with customizable color and camera turn speed. Traversal Assist removes inputs for climbing, jumping, and moving between traversal elements entirely. Sprint Mode now offers Hold, Toggle Hold, Toggle Release, and Auto variants, with a configurable delay before Auto Sprint kicks in. Combat Game Speed is a new separate slider from the existing Global Game Speed, letting players slow down stealth and active combat independently — both go down to 30%. Special Techniques Mode adds a Hold/Toggle option, and QTE Autocomplete, Repeated Button Press settings, and UI Hold behavior are all still present and configurable.

Insomniac has been building this accessibility framework across its PlayStation exclusives for years, and Spider-Man 2 was already considered a benchmark in the space. Wolverine pushes that further with new modifiers rather than just porting the old list over — the studio explicitly notes these are new and improved settings alongside returning ones.

The full list in the reveal was cut off before covering every category, so there are likely more options still to be detailed. With the game due out this year, Insomniac appears to be positioning Wolverine as a title that any player — regardless of ability or preferred challenge level — can get through on their own terms.
