Marvel's Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console Announced, Plus Physical Disc Drive Covers

PlayStation 5 users are in for a treat come September 15, as a limited edition Wolverine-themed console bundle and console covers are set to launch. The special edition console, exclusive to Marvel's Wolverine, boasts a striking yellow design reminiscent of Logan's classic suit, complete with a menacing claw slash on the console and controller. The console and controller are said to depict a roaring Wolverine, prominently displayed on the upper third of the device.

However, despite the eye-catching design, potential buyers may want to consider their existing setup before purchasing. The bundle does not include Sony's vertical stand that typically comes with the console. For those who still wish to give their PS5 a Wolverine makeover, fear not! Sony also plans to release console covers for the PS5 (Slim) and PS5 Pro, allowing users to transform their existing machines into Wolverine-themed consoles.

Interestingly, PS5 Pro owners will have an additional color option, switching from the signature yellow to a silvery white – "adamantium," if you will. The accompanying Wolverine controller will also launch in both yellow and silvery white color schemes. All these exciting additions will be available for purchase via PlayStation Direct and select retailers, while supplies last.

Pricing for the Marvel's Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle is set at $649.99 (US), £569.99 (GBP), €649.99 (EUR), or ¥96,980 (JPY) for the RRP. The DualSense Wireless Controller with the same Wolverine theme will cost an additional $84.99 (US), £74.99 (GBP), €84.99 (EUR), or ¥12,480 (JPY). For those looking to upgrade their console's appearance, the PS5 Console Covers – Battle Yellow Limited Edition will be priced at $74.99 (US), £64.99 (GBP), €74.99 (EUR), or ¥9,980 (JPY).

PlayStation 5 Pro owners can opt for the Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition console covers for a similar price of $74.99 (US), £64.99 (GBP), €74.99 (EUR), or ¥9,980 (JPY).
