Playground Games announced the reimagining of Fable 4 years ago, but it still seems to have a long way to go before its release. According to reports from a YouTuber, the exclusivity of this game remains unchanged, and based on the information he shared on his social media, it will not be available on PlayStation.
On the other hand, this Xbox title is reportedly not launching until 2026 to avoid competing with GTA 6. Many users believe this information isn’t very reliable, but considering that the game has never confirmed its release date, it could very well happen.
According to New Sources, Fable PS5 Will Not Happen
Rumors are quite common in the industry; many of them amount to nothing, but sometimes, depending on the source, the details end up becoming reality. For instance, Fortnite frequently boasts the most precise leaks.
In this instance, a YouTuber asserts that Fable will not be released on the PS5. Additionally, the game will not release until 2026 to avoid competing with games such as GTA 6.
Content creator Colteastwood claims to have solid information about these details, and the studio is aiming for a quality similar to what Red Dead Redemption 2 demonstrated at the time.
IMO Fable by Playground Games is likely pushing to 2026, (which will avoid the blast zone of GTA VI)

Of course, the comments didn’t take long to come in, with many users saying there’s no truth to what this user is saying, but a 2026 release makes a lot of sense considering everything coming next year.
Xbox Wants to Ensure It Emulates the Quality of Red Dead Redemption 2
The majority of the speculation that the studio wants to avoid releasing the game alongside Rockstar’s title comes from the YouTuber himself, who understands that 2025 will be full of major titles, making it a challenging year for strong sales.
Even Sony has anticipated that the upcoming year will have all sorts of exclusives, so the competition will be too fierce to launch Fable. He also clarified that the studio still has quite a bit of work to do on the game.
Most users remain very skeptical of the information shared by this content creator, saying there’s no way this game will achieve the promised quality.
Beyond being a fairly successful franchise overall, it’s not one that grabs most of the industry’s attention. However, each new gameplay reveal has heightened players’ anticipation for the game’s release. The hype is moderated but continuous.
One of the most notable characteristics of these titles is that they have all the sharpness and dark humor that the British are known for, making every interaction with the characters funnier than the last.
There’s still a long way to go before we see new updates on what Playground Games is doing, but everything indicates that the development is progressing very well in terms of the quality the studio is aiming for.
