MARVEL MaXimum Collection is a retro game compilation released digitally on March 27, 2026. Its “13 games” count refers to arcade, console and handheld versions across six named game families—not 13 unrelated Marvel franchises. A physical edition is announced for autumn 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.
Why the collection is described as 13 games
The reveal describes the collection as “13 comic-to-console and handheld counterpart titles.” The count includes versions of the same game released for different systems, alongside the six game families named on the official product page. The product description says, “We haven’t just picked a favorite version—every major console and arcade iteration is included.”

Here is how the announced lineup breaks down by family and version:
| Game family | Included versions |

| Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage | SUPER/SNES, MEGA/Mega Drive |

| Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge | SUPER/SNES, MEGA/Mega Drive, PORTABLE/Game Boy, GEAR/Game Gear |
| Silver Surfer | 8-bit/NES |
That means the collection brings together multiple editions of several games, rather than a single version of each title. The official product page lists the versions using both its system labels and familiar console names. Official product page; IGN reveal-trailer description.
