Summary
- The new Fable game might come to PS5, according to an insider.
- Xbox is rumoured to be moving away from permanent console exclusives entirely.
- This comes after big releases like Indiana Jones and The Outer Worlds 2 were confirmed to get PS5 releases.
Back in the day, Fable was one of the Xbox exclusives, right up there with Halo in making the Xbox 360 a must-have. Now, an insider is saying that the new instalment could come to PS5, the first time that the series has launched on a Sony platform.
This comes from Windows Central’s Jez Corden, who commented on Fable’s fast-approaching release on Twitter. Here, he says Fable’s development has been “monstrously expensive”, and that the game is a likely candidate to be ported to PS5.
The Next Fable Game Could Be The First To Come To PlayStation
Xbox is reportedly dropping console exclusives altogether after a big push earlier in this console generation
“Xbox won’t have exclusives going forward. Everything is timed exclusive at most,” says Corden, in tweets spotted by PlayStation Lifestyle.
When someone doubted that Fable would be included in this, Corden affirmed that it would be. “That game was monstrously expensive. It might not be day one, but it’ll come with the current plan in place IMO.”

A humble request from the Fable faithful.
We’re increasingly seeing that Xbox is willing to share the games that it could make console exclusives. Most recently, a new trailer for The Outer Worlds 2 confirmed that it will be coming to PS5 after all. Another upcoming Obsidian RPG, Avowed, is still listed as being PC and Xbox only, but that might change soon.
Speaking on this topic, Corden has previously said that the “era of Xbox having permanent console exclusives is over.” With that in mind, we can expect more releases like The Outer Worlds 2, or even Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which is coming to PS5 at some point next year.
Sony, on the other hand, has shown no sign of sharing its big exclusives with Xbox. At best, we eventually get a PC port sometime after launch. The most recent one to be revealed is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is coming to PC on January 23, 2025.
Fable is an upcoming RPG for Xbox and PC. It will reboot the classic series, this time developed by Playground Games – best known for its work on the Forza series of racing games.
