Early game: the facilities and Canada

• Team X locker room. Where: the Team X locker room, walking through the room. What to do: Examine the cubbies. They belonged to past teammates, including Maverick, Eye Boy and Rain Boy; Logan comments on Eye Boy's headgear.
• Iceman's escape. Where: the nuke-test-style fake town you cross while searching for Nathaniel Essex. What to do: Look for the fake house full of blasted ice. A mutant restraint collar sits in the ice, implying Bobby Drake broke free.
• The Daily Bugle. Where: Leech's hideout, during the mission The One That Got Away in Canada. What to do: Find the copy of the Daily Bugle — a link to Insomniac's Spider-Man games, which share this universe.
• Beast's article. Where: one of the labs, among the documents. What to do: Read the article on the X-Gene. Its author is Hank McCoy, the founding X-Man Beast.
• A pre-Cerebro machine. Where: Trask's labs. What to do: Look at the mutant detection machine. Its design deliberately recalls Professor Xavier's Cerebro.
• Stryker's book. Where: the Trask station. What to do: Find the book My War, written by William Stryker, the anti-mutant preacher from God Loves, Man Kills.
• Essex's blood samples. Where: Essex's lair. What to do: Check the samples. Names include Riptide, Harpoon (Kodiak Noatak) and Mercury, plus a long list of fallen mutants such as Wraith, Blockbuster, Prism and Morph.
• Trask's offhand mentions. Where: dialogue in Trask's facility. What to do: Listen for "dangerous mutants" he lists in passing — a teen who combusted, a girl whose voice can liquefy a brain, people who can kill with a thought. Each could be a known character.

Madripoor

• Dazzler's poster. Where: around Madripoor's streets. What to do: Spot the poster for Alison Blaire, Dazzler; Logan says he prefers her old stuff.
• Gambit's IOU. Where: Walter's music room, during the Madripoor downtime after Trask's death. What to do: Find the playing card with an I.O.U. signed by Remy LeBeau, Gambit.
• The Viper Bar. Where: near the bar in Madripoor. What to do: Look at the sign and listen to Logan's line about the owner spitting in your drink — a nod to Viper.
• Donald Pierce's email. Where: in Madripoor. What to do: Read the email from Donald Pierce, the cyborg founder of the Reavers.
• "Puck was here". Where: graffiti in Madripoor. What to do: Read Logan's comment about the little fighter — a nod to Alpha Flight's Puck.
• Angel's reserved seat. Where: the Hightown casino. What to do: Look at the seat reserved for Warren Worthington III, one of the five original X-Men.
• A Hellfire Club crime lord. Where: the Hightown casino's VIP penthouse. What to do: Note the man thrown out: Liu-wo Han, a Hong Kong crime lord tied to the Hellfire Club.
• Corrigan's plane. Where: a line of Logan's dialogue. What to do: Listen to him note his plane was never found — echoing the comics, where Patch wrecked Archie Corrigan's planes.

Japan

• Hellfire Club door. Where: a door in Japan bearing a familiar symbol. What to do: Examine it. Logan calls the club "stuck-up".
• Sable International. Where: a company sign in Japan. What to do: Look at it — the PMC from Spider-Man's DLC. Logan says they once tried to poach him from Team X.
• Alchemax. Where: another company sign in Japan. What to do: Spot the sign for the corporation from the 2099 comics, where Miguel O'Hara worked.
• Roxxon. Where: a billboard in Japan. What to do: Read it and listen for Logan wondering whether Simon Krieger is still in jail — which places the game after Miles Morales.
• Muramasa's grave. Where: while wandering Japan. What to do: Find the grave of the weaponsmith who forged the sword that can kill Logan. It's also relevant to the plot.

Story moments (spoilers)

Everything below spoils story events.

• Fastball Special. Where: the fight against the Sentinel prototype. What to do: Watch Sabertooth throw Logan in the classic Colossus tag-team move.
• Jean's throwback dress. Where: the Hand's gala. What to do: Notice her green dress and yellow mask, a look from her original Marvel Girl days.
• Daredevil and Elektra. Where: the Hand storyline. What to do: Listen for Shiro mentioning a lawyer in Hell's Kitchen, and look for a sai on display in the Hand headquarters' shrine.
• Savage Land and a comet egg. Where: Logan's Nightmare Door memories. What to do: Listen to the memories — one mentions the Savage Land, another a comet that turned out to be an egg (Phoenix or Brood, depending on your theory).
• An "X" grave. Where: after Logan appears to die against the giant Sentinel. What to do: Look at the wooden "X" marking his grave, an echo of Logan's ending.
• Logan as a conduit. Where: destroying the Sentinel teleporters. What to do: Watch him channel electricity between components, a visual nod to Deadpool & Wolverine.
• Apocalypse. Where: the climax. What to do: Listen as Apocalypse calls Logan "Death" — his old Horseman role, whose costume resembles the game's Shinigami look.
• Lila Cheney. Where: the credits. What to do: Spot the poster for the mutant rock star, also seen on Dazzler's earlier poster.

Costumes

• Patch. Where: an outfit worn in Madripoor. What to do: The white tuxedo and eye patch reference his Patch alter ego.
• Hellverine. Where: an unlockable costume. What to do: A Ghost Rider crossover-inspired look.
• Other suits nod to Weapon X, Old Man Logan, Ultimate Wolverine, Classic Brown, New Leather, Midnight, the 2000s movies' tank top, and a Marvel Tokon crossover. We couldn't confirm how each one is unlocked.
