What to play this week: Marvel's Wolverine, LEGO Batman

This week at a glance

One real exclusive this week, and it decides the household split on its own: Marvel’s Wolverine is PS5-only and Mature-rated, so LEGO Batman’s Friday Switch 2 landing is where everyone under that rating goes instead. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the bigger Nintendo story, but it is a Thursday release competing for attention with a superhero claw-fest that has been the talk of the month.

What we’d play this week

Top tip of the week: Marvel’s Wolverine

Marvel’s Wolverine — PS5. Tuesday, PS5 only, and the month’s one true exclusive. Mature-rated, so read our age guide before the negotiating starts, and check the PS5 listing before you commit to a pre-order.

With the family: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight — Switch 2. The Switch 2 version lands Friday with the Mayhem DLC. Fine from about six upward, and the one to hand over when Wolverine is the answer you are not giving.

From the backlog: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection (5/5)

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection — PS5. If Wolverine has you in the mood for a PS5 action game but not for the price, this is two of the best ever made, and they hold up.

Also releasing this week

Two point hospital: Full health collection (Switch 2)

Two Point Hospital: Full Health Collection (Switch 2) releases Wednesday 16 September on Switch 2. Not a launch: the Switch 2 edition of the management sim with everything bundled. Digital on the 16th, physical follows 6 November.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s weave

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave releases Thursday 17 September on Switch 2. Four protagonists, four routes, and the first Fire Emblem built for Switch 2. The month’s biggest Nintendo release by a distance.

Every other date this month is on our release calendar — the full list of what lands where, with the picks we would actually spend an evening on at the top.

What should we play this week (September 14-20, 2026)?

Our top tip is Marvel’s Wolverine, the month’s one true PS5 exclusive, out Tuesday. With the family, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight lands on Switch 2 Friday with the Mayhem DLC. And from the backlog, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PS5 is two of the best action games ever made, still worth the price of admission.

Is Marvel's Wolverine appropriate for kids?

No, not by default — it is rated Mature 17+, and Insomniac has been explicit that the claws are the point. Read our full age guide before the pre-order conversation happens, and hand the Switch 2 controller to LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight instead for anyone under the rating.

What other games are releasing this week?

Two more, both on Switch 2. Two Point Hospital: Full Health Collection arrives Wednesday 16 September — not a new game, but the full management sim bundled for the console for the first time. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the first Fire Emblem built for Switch 2, follows Thursday 17 September and is the month’s biggest Nintendo release by a distance.
