Insomniac Adds Toggle to Turn Off Wolverine's Scent Trails

The new option lets players disable non‑story guidance for collectibles and marks a quick developer response to widespread player complaints.

Overview

  • Insomniac released patch 1.001.006 for Marvel’s Wolverine on Friday, September 25, adding on/off Senses toggles for Whisky Bottle scent trails, Material Crate audio clues, and Nightmare Door roots on PS5.
  • The toggles remove only collectible‑related cues while leaving story‑critical Senses active so main objectives and plot guidance remain in the game.
  • The update also fixes several crashes and gameplay bugs including a slide‑stuck issue in the 'The One That Got Away' mission, misaligned claws in Photo Mode, rare objects turning white after long play sessions, and an overlapping bathroom sign in the casino.
  • The change follows earlier hotfixes that reduced the scent trail’s prominence and responds to heavy online criticism of the feature that many players said removed exploration and felt like hand‑holding.
  • Player reaction to the toggle has been largely positive and the fix comes as the game posts strong engagement and high PlayStation Store user scores, which suggests Insomniac will keep monitoring feedback and issuing further patches as needed.
