Xbox has pushed Playground Games' long-awaited Fable reboot from its planned autumn 2026 launch into February 2027, with the platform holder openly citing the need to give the game 'the dedicated moment it deserves' as Grand Theft Auto 6 and other heavyweights crowd the calendar.
The move, announced on Xbox's official Twitter/X account and amplified by fan accounts such as 'GTA 6 Countdown,' has immediately been read by many players as a strategic retreat from the looming dominance of GTA 6.
