Insomniac’s one most relatable tweet ever: “when that lunch time food coma hits” with a sleepy emoji. Since gamers are, well, gamers, they turned one innocent tweet into baseless conspiracy theories of Wolverine ps5 release date, Xbox exclusives, and cancelled games. It is too good to keep all to ourselves.
It is an actual mood out there, really: forgetting to blink during that gluttonous lunch period just before hitting that wall. But the replies were incredible. Gamers quickly began to shower Insomniac in demands, jokes, and downright absurd speculations; one player commented, “Ok how many signatures do we need for you guys to remaster the trilogy?” while another demanded, “GIVE US THE SUUUUUUIIIITTTS!!!” to which they were referring to the absent Spider-Man 2 suits. The energy is crazy; and we love it.
Then came the curveball: one person points out that Insomniac follows Xbox on social media, and all hell broke loose on the internet. “THEY MADE AN XBOX EXCLUSIVE GAME,” one user screamed, referring to days before the Sony acquisition when Insomniac really was independent. Somebody else did a full clap back, “Clown lol 🤦🏻♂️🤣,” because, honestly, it’s PlayStation’s golden child right now. But wait, the chaos did not end there, and people were debating whether Spider-Man can ever come to Xbox (spoiler: won’t) and if Wolverine can sneak onto the Microsoft console somehow. That was Olympic-level mental gymnastics.
The Wolverine mentions in the replies culminated in a bombardment on when Wolverine is getting released. One user tagged Grok (yes, that Grok) to ask when is wolverine ps5 coming out, and the AI actually responded to a vague “after March 2026.” Insomniac turned wild with some celebrating the hopeful 2025 timeline, while others groaned about the wait. In the meantime, in true clown fashion, yet another user suggested, “I heard that making a Venom game prevents this from happening,” just to throw more gas to the rumor mill.
The tweet gave rise to the never-ending PlayStation vs. Xbox debates. One user threw in a joke that said, “Green ? Xbox 😎,” paying homage to the console’s landmark color, and suddenly the replies exploded with takes on canceled games like Concord and Contraband. “At least it came out and we didn’t have to wait since 2020 for it to be released or canceled,” said a PlayStation fan, and an Xbox loyalist simply responded, “Oh no they canceled a game I knew absolutely nothing about.” The petty energy was chef’s kiss.
Of course, Resistance fans had to be reminded of their existence. One player begged, “dont play with us…please a new resistance,” because apparently, a food coma tweet is just about the best time to resurrect a dead franchise. The desperation is all too real.
End of the day, an Insomniac tweet that simply conveyed the forlorn feeling of “post-lunch, hitting-the-wall” vibes would spiral into uncontrollable hype, salt, and downright ridiculous theories with the gamers. Players will always find a means to twist such things into utter chaos, be it Wolverine release dates, fantasies about Xbox, or long-dead game franchises. And honestly, we are glad this is the case. So, if you pardon me, I’ll be off to catch some sunset naps of my own.
