Earlier today, we shared news about a big Insomniac leak that spilled the beans on a PC version of Marvel’s Wolverine. However, things could be much worse. From the looks of it, a PC dev build of the game may have leaked online, allowing people to actually play it.
Reddit’s member TriHardGreek has shared the following screenshots. These screenshots indicate that a playable leaked PC dev build of Marvel’s Wolverine is already out there. For what it’s worth, I haven’t found any download links to it. I also expect torrent sites to be filled with fake files about it in due time. So, hold your horses everyone, and don’t start downloading whatever you find online.
These leaked screenshots show the game’s main menu and its Basic Combat Tutorial. Since this is a PC dev build, the main menu is barebones. And no, there aren’t any graphics settings. I also don’t know whether the game requires a gamepad, or whether it’s playable with KB&M.
So far, I haven’t seen any extended gameplay footage from this PC dev build. All the leaked gameplay footage we’ve seen for Marvel’s Wolverine is from the PS5 version. Many people have also asked the Redditor to share a video from it. If he does, I’ll be sure to update the story.
As I’ve already reported, Insomniac will bring all of its X-Men games on PC. Or at least that’s what its agreement with Marvel indicates. The fact that there is already a PC dev build for it is also fascinating. This of course does not mean that the game will come out on PC alongside its PS5 version. Oh no. Sony will definitely delay the PC version.
Speaking of Sony, one of its internal slides leaked earlier today. That slide featured the Steam sales of all of its titles up till February 2023. So, if you haven’t seen it, I suggest taking a look at it.
Stay tuned for more!

Do devs not have internal PC builds from the beginning for console games they develop even if the game isn’t meant to come out on PC? Guessing this is something similar to that and not necessarily because it will get a PC release at some point.
They have dev kit versions of the consoles. I don´t know if they have complete PC builts of console games. Why would they need months to port them then? naaah
Nope, each console has its own dev kit. Developers will not compile PC builds if they only plan to release their games on consoles. They’ll simply export a console dev build to use/test it on their console dev kits. PC dev builds run on the PC, not on consoles.
Ah, hopefully this means Sony is shortening the time between PS5 and PC releases for its games going forward, I’m guessing that was inevitable once they decided to start focusing on PC.
That is not going to make the PS 5 owners very happy.
Peasants are used to hardship. They will be fine. Anyway it’s funny when they throw a sh*t fit over a game going to PC. As far as I am concerned the days of console exclusives need to be over with and forgotten.
They will probably still be complaining about Spider-Man 2 not getting game of the year when Wolverine comes around.
Uh, it’s actually fairly common practice for developers to have their
title running on PC in parallel even if their primary target is on a
different platform – especially now when console architecture is so
close to have we have on PC.
And this has been the case for a long a*s time.
It’s usually done for quick runs for debugging, testing or troubleshooting, when it’s not necessarily a problem that might be specific to a particular platform – and when it might not be possible to immediately launch it on a devkit (either due to availability or some other reason).
That said, nobody should get the wrong idea; it would not be in a state for release, and would still need optimization, QA etc. It is, after all, just so the developers can quickly test, troubleshoot or debug.
Since you seem to be working in the videogames industry, could you answers any of these questions, if possible?
– How were you running PS3 or Xbox 360 exclusive titles on your workstations back then, since both consoles are using CPU designs with IBM’s PowerPC ISA while your workstation was most likely running on an Intel CPU with the x86_64 ISA?
– Were you using a binary translator similar to Box64 or FEX-EMU?
These are projects which are able to translate the x86 ISA to ARM/AArch64 nowadays, which means modern PC titles like God of War can already be run on a Qualcomm SnapDragon SoC on Linux, for example.
– What about the PS3’s graphics API in particular, how were you able to run that on your Windows workstations?
Runtime translation to DX9, similar to how DXVK translates DX9-DX11 to the Vulkan API?
I’m a Linux kernel developer myself, however videogame development has always intrigued me, so if you could shed some light on my questions, that would be great.
Thanks!
That’s what I wonder about too. I may be wrong but I don’t think the game engine is very different between the console version and the PC version or that the coding for the game would be radically different between versions.
I know that the PC version would still need optimizing just like the console version would still need optimizing for each console but it seems to me that to say there is a working game for console is the same as there is a working game for PC since they are basically the same as far as engine and hardware.
Edit: I see on your profile that you are a programmer. Thanks for giving some feedback here.

Now post a picture of yourself. Let’s see if you’re any better.
Why is she in every single game now? I bet she will be in Skull and Bones.
Woke imbeciles love to tick as many boxes as they can with one character.
Because she’s black.
Not enough of an explanation, there are other black actresses other than her.
she is a far left wing anti white lunatic.
Hell yeah, love me some Mad TV

trachea shave webbed neck, hips look too low ie come in below bb, wearing the clown shoes to hide the huge feet, clown face huge premarin horse mouth, chinplant pretty standard for them, all sorts of surgeries, implants, hormones, etc pretty nasty traneestein there.
I really wanna hear “MrE” talking about this wilson.
HOW IS THIS PERSON IN EVERY GAME HOW? Must be the politics.
oh, grow up!
you grow up all you do is downvote my comments clown, why wont you admit the reason she is there you woke hack?
stop saying dumb, racist things and i’ll stop downvoting them.
no https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6HkiZOWkaM
you grow up all you do is downvote my comments g*ylord.
Why do you bother caring about the downvotes? They don’t do anything anyway. I assure you they don’t alter the opinion of sensible gamers here about your comments. You have good info and feedback usually. That’s all that really matters at the end of the day.

he dislikes every comment i make.
He doesn’t though. Not really. He just likes to troll people. Probably 90% of the downvotes that happen here come from people that don’t even bother to read a comment anyway instead of just skimming it and poke the downvote button because it’s seen as cool to do that with the other kids.
no he does i see it in my inbox.
Good god WTF is that?
Is she supposed to be an ugly African punk pirate? She might look less lame with a pet monkey…. on her head, wearing it like a hat. A monkey hat. It could warm her bald head.
we wuz wahmen soft
John, why did you have to pick a picture of Wolverine and Mystique? Do you know what they did to Mystique? They turned her into a trans it in the comics.
Mysdique
Good thing no one cares about comics anymore…
In this game Mystique is lesbian with wife that humiliate wolverine, i just watch 25mn of gameplay from this woke garbage. and this is not a spoiler john everyone knows that they butchered Mystique character.
i want the video, i need to see this cringe myself.
Wanna share the link with you man, but i didn’t find it on my YouTube watch history probably the video is taken down.
Not surprising, but is it Mystique or her wife that humiliates wolverine?
The wife, a strong black female +tbgl character. fk.
You do realize you’re talking about a character who is amorphous by design and can be whatever she/he wants to be at any time right?
No its a woman, always have been a woman until the woketards get to write HER.
Like John has the time to think about all that when picking images for his articles.
i hate this obsessing with the new god of war camera, i want to be able to see around me damn it, stop mounting the camera on the characters shoulder. Also it will be wise to save this build and compare it with the final game, i want to see if it has any rainbow flags in it.
I really hate the type of mainstream US-oriented “games” Sony makes. They’re pretentious cinematic experiences that lean very closely on Hollywood, Marvel, Superheroes etc.
They’re so unbelievably mainstream, so unbelievably overdone, so politically correct. They’re the type of games non-gamers play, the same people who will reference Marvel and Star Wars when asked what their favorite movie is. They’re the games a dad of 2 kids will play because it allows him to “connect with his kids“.
They’re not just games, they’re franchises of billion $ companies with development teams that rely on surveys and sales data to understand exactly how to cater to as many normies as possible.
I appreciate you sharing this blog post. Thanks Again. Cool.
Wonderful web site. Lots of useful info here. I’m sending it to a few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks to your effort!
