Fable Could Reportedly Be Delayed to Avoid Clashing With GTA 6 Release

""We know Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming out later this year and we know that has caused these companies to think about how they are releasing their games," Grubb said on the podcast."

""Now it's not being moved out of this year, it's still coming this year apparently. But they're moving it later to get out of the way of Grand Theft Auto," he said."

"If Fable was further delayed from its current launch window of autumn 2026, that would likely mean the game could release in December, after launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 - if Microsoft doesn't want to push it to 2027."

"Earlier this year, Playground Games presented a deep dive into Fable and its gameplay systems at Xbox Developer Direct. The game is set in the fictional realm of Albion, a vast open world with diverse landscapes."

Fable, scheduled for autumn 2026, may be delayed to avoid competition with Grand Theft Auto 6, releasing on November 19. Microsoft aims to create distance between the two launches. Journalist Jeff Grubb reported that while Fable will still release in 2026, it may be pushed later in the year. If delayed, Fable could launch in December 2026. Playground Games has showcased Fable's gameplay, emphasizing its open-world design set in the fictional realm of Albion, allowing unrestricted exploration.
