A ransomware attack in December 2023 stole early versions of the PS5 exclusive game Wolverine from Sony and Insomniac. User u/Clean-Market5761 used this leaked source code to create a PC port without using tools like KytyPS5 or AnyPS5, though they admitted to using AI for scripts and automated asset conversion. The resulting executable is described as buggy, with missing textures and a head that appears in some screenshots but not others.

The developer explains that the playable character lacks a head because the PS5 shader library required to render hair has not been ported, causing the game to freeze if included. They disabled the head asset to prioritize making the game run and remain "playable." While the developer defends their work against claims of using fake screenshots from the 2023 leak, skeptics argue the images are simply from the old build.

Despite the technical effort, community reaction is mixed regarding the game itself. Critics describe Wolverine as an "interactive movie" where segments complete themselves without player input, such as motorcycle chases or Quick-Time Events that finish automatically. Players feel the game holds their hand too much and makes it too easy. Even if an official port existed, observers suggest the game’s design may not be attractive to players regardless of the platform.
