Things have only escalated in the days since, as someone else has begun streaming their entire playthrough on Twitch. The setup is fairly simple: a camera pointed at the TV as they claw through Marvel’s Wolverine to an audience of roughly 40–50 viewers. The leaker in question, who we won't name here, started with Kick and TikTok Live, but migrated to Twitch because the streams kept getting taken down. “Loving the new Marvel’s Wolverine game,” they said. “It’s official — first ever to play 😉.” In fact, while writing this article, Sony took action. Their stream came to an abrupt end, with an error appearing in its place: “Content from this channel has been removed at the request of the copyright holder.” However, they have continued to share screenshots and clips to their TikTok and Instagram, which currently remains untouched. How Did They Acquire A Copy? Insomniac The streamer hasn’t divulged how they acquired a copy of Marvel’s Wolverine, but their bio claims that they are “CDL certified,” which is required for delivery drivers in the US — something they allude to with a truck emoji. It’s not the smoking gun, but OP may have swiped a copy to play early from the delivery stock. Whatever the case, Sony is clearly aware of the streamer in question. The copyright takedown offers the strongest indication yet that the footage is genuine, not AI-generated or official gameplay repackaged as a leak, but someone apparently playing an unauthorized copy ahead of launch. This also happened with Starfield in 2023, when 29-year-old Darin Harris posted over 45 minutes of footage online while also trying to sell additional copies of the game. A police report obtained by Polygon revealed that Harris had been accused of stealing 67 copies from the Vantiva logistics warehouse, landing him a felony charge of $2,500—$10,000.
