Second on the view board, and squarely in the lane: Marvel's Wolverine. Insomniac keeps making single-player superhero games that actually respect the player's time, and the numbers this summer say people are paying attention.
## The number Wolverine's trailer pulled 5.9 million views across the 2026 summer showcases — the second most-watched single video of the season, right behind God of War: Laufey. On a pure attention basis, it's a top-two story.
## Why Insomniac earns the benefit of the doubt This is the studio behind Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 — polished, single-player, story-driven games with combat that feels good and cities worth living in. Handing that team Logan, a character built for grit and consequence, is a natural fit. Expect a darker tone than the Spideys, with the same production ceiling.
## The single-player point No co-op hook, no live-service scaffolding announced — a focused, narrative action game. That's increasingly rare from a studio this size, and it's exactly why it fits the host's lane next to God of War and Cyberpunk.
## What the views signal Two single-player, story-first games sitting at the top of the summer's view counts is its own headline. The read is simple: the audience still shows up big for a well-made game you play through alone. Multiplayer isn't the only thing that moves numbers.
## The takeaway Wolverine is the other half of the summer's one-two punch — proof that focused, single-player craft still commands the biggest rooms. Claws out, and the attention's already there.
