The superhero sector is prolific for companies like Warner, with the DC Comics license, or Disney, with Marvel, but somehow it only applies to movies, because in the field of video games it seems that they will soon end up disappearing, which, with the trend towards digital, makes it even more serious, because today I had the case of wanting to play this latest Deadpool game that was launched on Xbox 360 and re-released on Xbox One in 2015, but it is … absolutely impossible.

9 years after this relaunch, The latest Deadpool game cannot be purchased in any digital store and is virtually impossible to find in physical format.which has practically become a collector’s item. As you can see for yourselves, your ad in the Microsoft Storeis active and shows that the title is compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, but we cannot purchase it with an error saying: “Not available separately”.
It is a real absurdity that, somehow, in front of one of the most marketing films of 2024, and as some of us have already seen, it is a wonder for lovers of both characters, neither of them has a video game to remember. to, being the most “next”, the Wolverine title announced by PlayStation and which Insomniac Games is taking care of. Wonderful news for Xbox users, who, to make matters worse, have seen one of the most exciting controllers of recent years, wandering the networks, without any official game with which to play these characters.
In this case, it is the turn of the most popular live service games to take center stage, in which skins of famous characters are the daily bread: Fortnite and Call of Duty. If you want to be Deadpool or Wolverine after watching the movie, you will have no choice but to play your favorite shooting game (if that’s the case) and buy the corresponding skins. In the case of Fortnite, it’s even funnier, since the characters already existed, but you can get an update, called “Pen & Ink”.
Let’s not talk about a character like Wolverine, who does not directly have a game in which he is the protagonist long before Deadpool and which many of us remember with nostalgia, since these were not even backward compatible, precisely because they had been interrupted before for Xbox One to arrive. Ironically, it’s easier to find games like X-MEN Origins: Wolverine in typical thrift stores in any city.than on the Internet.
Where we can find Deadpool, with a mission of his own, is in Midnight Suns, but it’s not a typical action title, but an XCOM-like title, with turn-based combat. It’s a great game, no doubt, but it’s not what the general public is looking for. The question becomes more thorny if we look at one of the latest VR action titles featuring Deadpool and Wolverine, Marvel Powers United VR, released in 2018, which is ALSO no longer available for purchase.

Furthermore, in these cases we are talking about consoles and PC, the latter being the one that with its less orthodox methods of obtaining the games, we could end up obtaining both games with less effort, something we do not like to collaborate, but in these cases we highly recommend it. If you are one of those who own a copy, whether physical or digital, of Deadpool: The Videogame, you can currently boast about it.
It’s not the best game, we know, but it’s the only one with the same humor, irreverence and lack of common sense as the movies. But the fact that Disney and Marvel didn’t play their cards right with this movie is something we couldn’t stop commenting on. A pain.
